Change of Name, School of Social Work, Urbana

(21) T h e faculty and the Director of the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the Urbana-Champaign campus have recommended that the name Jane Addams be deleted from the School's title. T h e Board has recently approved the administrative separation of the Jane Addams Schools of Social Work at the Urbana and Chicago Circle campuses, resulting in two autonomous schools with the same name. I n order to avoid confusion on the part of students, practitioners, and the general public, it appears necessary for only one of those schools to be so identified. While fully recognizing the great contribution of Jane Addams to the field of social work, the faculty at Urbana-Champaign believes that the many ties of Miss Addams with the Chicago Circle campus area make it more appropriate that that campus retain its identification with her. The Chancellor at Urbana-Champaign and the Vice President for Academic Affairs concur in this recommendation. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r .

Medical Service Plan for the Peoria School of Medicine, Medical Center

(22) T h e Dean of the Peoria School of Medicine and the Executive Dean of the College of Medicine have recommended extension of the College of Medicine Medical Service Plan to include the Peoria School of Medicine. O n July 26, 1967, the Trustees approved a Medical Service Plan for the College of Medicine and the University of Illinois Hospital. Under the plan, physicianfaculty members of the College of Medicine voluntarily assign professional fees to a separate account in the University and expend the funds within a budget approved by the physician-faculty participants, the University administration, and the Board of Trustees. Funds generated by physician-faculty members of T h e Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine are used to strengthen programs of T h e Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine and the University of Illinois Hospital. Funds generated by the physician-faculty members of the Rockford School of Medicine, under an extension of the plan approved May 17, 1972, by the Board of Trustees, are used to strengthen the programs of the Rockford School of Medicine. T h e extension of the Plan to Peoria will broaden the options available to the School, permit it to interact in a variety of ways with the affiliated hospitals and institutions, and enable it to develop clinical settings for educational programs to be conducted not only by a variety of medical specialists but by other health professionals. T h e funds that accrue through the voluntary assignment of professional fees by the physician-faculty members of the Peoria School of Medicine will be used to strengthen the programs of the Peoria School of Medicine. T h e Chancellor at the Medical Center, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the Vice President for Administration endorse this recommendation. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved. Contract for Educational Services, College of Medicine

(23) T h e Board of Trustees has, on several occasions, approved contracts for educational services to assist in the expansion of the medical education programs of the College of Medicine.
