MEDICAL FACULTY ASSEMBLY

NOVEMBER 12, 1996

A Recommendation (1996-97-003):

Whereas, the faculty of the School of Medicine have a responsibility to provide services to the County of Los Angeles at the Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Medical Center (LAC+USC Medical Center) under an agreement known as the County Professional Services Agreement (CPSA); and

Whereas, the current CPSA will expire in 1997 and this agreement is critical to the patient care operations at the LAC+USC Medical Center, which serves as a base for research and educational activity of the USC School of Medicine, therefore:

The Medical Faculty Assembly (MFA) recommends to the Faculty Executive Council (FEC) and the Dean:

1.    That elected representatives from both the MFA and the APLACH participate fully as voting members in the University's negotiating team; and

2.    That these representatives be able to communicate with their constituencies when the negotiating team feels that it is appropriate to do so.

Vote: 12 in favor, none opposed, 4 abstaining.
