Report of the External Committee on Governance of the Health Sciences

Abstract

The Committee has examined the organizational structure through which the University of Minnesota undertakes to advance health science education, services, and research. We have done this at a crucial time in the health affairs of the state and at a critical point in the development of health sciences in the University. To evaluate or prescribe administrative patterns intended to advance the University's Health Sciences Center requires definition of the missions, responsibilities, and objectives of the Center's program. Administrative arrangements will determine the framework within which these purposes are pursued.
