BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 18

Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services, Medical Center

(8) T h e Chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended the appointment of David W. Bonham, presently Director of Business Affairs at the Medical Center, as Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services, beginning October 1, 1974, at an annual salary of $34,000. Initially the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services will have administrative jurisdiction over the Physical Plant Department, the Office of Business Affairs (this office reports to the Vice President for Planning and Allocation but functions in the service of the Medical Center campus), the Personnel Services Office, the Campus Services Division, the Office of Administrative Data Processing, the Safety Office and such other administrative service units as the Chancellor from time to time may assign. The Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services will report directly to the Chancellor on policy matters related to the units under his administrative jurisdiction. He will provide the budget allocations and policy guidelines for those administrative units reporting to him. This recommendation is consistent with a report, "A Statement on Administrative Reorganization at the Medical Center Campus," previously submitted to the Trustees. As stated in that report, a revised administrative structure has been proposed in the light of increased burdens, responsibilities, and opportunities inherent in the major expansion of the programs and services now underway at the Medical Center campus. The Vice President for Planning and Allocation and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur in the recommendation. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, this appointment was approved. Establishment of a School of Clinical Medicine at Urbana within the College of Medicine, and the Appointment of a Dean

(9) T h e plan for the reorganization of the College of Medicine, approved by the Board of Trustees on July 23, 1969, and endorsed by the Board of Higher Education on November 4, 1969, authorizes the establishment of semi-autonomous schools within the College of Medicine. Under the plan, schools of basic medical sciences have been established at the Medical Center campus and at the Urbana campus; clinical schools of medicine have been established at the Medical Center campus, at Peoria, and at Rockford. As a further step in the implementation of the plan of reorganization, the Executive Dean of the College of Medicine has recommended to the Chancellor at the Medical Center and to the Chancellor at Urbana that a semi-autonomous School of Clinical Medicine be established as a component school of the College of Medicine at the Urbana campus. It is planned that twenty second-year medical students will begin at Urbana in August of 1975 and that in August of 1979 the second-year class will reach its maximum size of 50 medical students. Thus, by August of 1981 the School would reach the planned total of 150 medical students, 50 in each of the second, third and fourth years. Development of a School of Clinical Medicine at Urbana will be achieved by redistribution of the currently-approved enrollment levels projected for the College of Medicine. Thus, no increases in the enrollment of medical students are proposed beyond those now authorized. Further, it is planned that the development of the School will be accomplished essentially within the operating budget estimates for the currently-projected number of undergraduate medical students. Additional space required will be leased, using operating funds or will be self-supporting. One of the unique features of the reorganization of the College of Medicine
