Administrative Reorganization at the Medical Center Campus

(7) The revision of the general administrative structure of the University approved in principle by the Board of Trustees on April 19, 1972, and the substantial expansion, both achieved and anticipated, of the programs and services offered by the Medical Center campus are the primary reasons for recommending an administrative reorganization at the Medical Center campus at this time. The focus of the proposed reorganization is upon a decentralization of the current responsibilities undertaken by the Office of the Chancellor. Central to the plan is the inclusion of three Vice Chancellors in the administrative structure: 1. T h e Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs 2. T h e Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services 3. The Vice Chancellor for Health Services The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs will be established in accordance with the University of Illinois Statutes which contain the following: "Article I I I , Section 1 ( e ) : There shall be a vice chancellor for academic affairs or equivalent officer at each campus. He shall be the chief academic officer, under the Chancellor, for the campus and will serve as chief executive officer in the absence of the Chancellor. He shall be appointed biennially by the Board of Trustees on recommendation of the Chancellor and the President, who shall have the advice of the Senate on the occasion of each appointment." Upon approval of the plan for the reorganization, a search for candidates will be conducted. In due course a recommendation for appointment of a person to fill the position of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs will be brought to the Board of Trustees. Establishment of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services will permit the Office of the Chancellor to delegate the responsibility for several units providing important supporting services. A recommendation for appointment of the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services is included among the agenda items to come before the Board at this meeting. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Health Services now exists. Thus, only a further definition and clarification of the role of the Vice Chancellor for Health Services is involved in the current proposal. The Chancellor at the Medical Center recommends approval in principle by the Board of Trustees. T h e Vice President for Planning and Allocation and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , these r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s w e r e a p p r o v e d in principle.
