and of the expansion of the enrollment of undergraduate medical students is the concept of regionalization. T h e establishment of a School of Clinical Medicine at Urbana builds upon the concept of regionalization, and will bring to the UrbanaChampaign region a continuum of medical education — undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education, and continuing medical education. The Executive Dean has further recommended to the two Chancellors the appointment of Dr. Daniel Kermit Bloomfield, presently Dean of the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Urbana, as Dean of the School of Clinical Medicine as well. The effective date of the appointment as well as the salary and the percentage of time allocated to each administrative appointment will be determined as soon as all approvals for establishment of the School have been received. T h e Chancellors at the Medical Center and at Urbana approve these recommendations. T h e Vice President for Planning and Allocation and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved, die position was authorized, and the appointment was approved.

Director of Business Affairs, Chicago Campuses1

(10) Recent efforts to improve the efficiency of operation of the Office of University Planning and Resource Allocation have resulted in the installation of a single payroll system for all campuses. The implementation of a single budget/accounting system is now in progress. It is now proposed to further this administrative consolidation by the naming of a single Director of Business Affairs to serve both Chicago campuses. This officer would report directly to the Vice President for Planning and Allocation. The Vice President for Planning and Allocation has recommended the appointment of James E. Osborn, Director of Business Affairs at Chicago Circle, to the new post, effective October 1, 1974. An earlier item in the present agenda recommended that the current Director of Business Affairs at the Medical Center (David Bonham) be named Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services at that campus. Subject to Board approval of that appointment, I recommend approval as proposed of the designation of Mr. Osborn as Director of Business Affairs for the Chicago Campuses.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, this position was authorized and the appointment was approved.
