Collective Negotiating Matters Chancellor Manning reported that negotiations for a new contract were underway with the Illinois Nurses Association. Litigation Mr. Bearrows reported on the two settlements recommended in the agenda and said that one involved delivery of an infant that resulted in nerve dam- age to the arm of the child. He stated that a traumatic delivery was deter- mined to be the cause of the damage. He went on to discuss the opinions of experts who had reviewed the case and noted some weaknesses in the case for the University, that he said led him to recommend settlement. Mr. Bear- rows also mentioned a recent verdict in a similar case that was greater than what is recommended to the board in this case. The second case he discussed dated to 1992 and involved a delayed C- section delivery of an infant that was born with cerebral palsy. Charles Rice, M.D., vice chancellor for health affairs, was present and gave the descrip- tive background on this case. He stated that the claim is that the child’s condition is a result of the delay in delivery, and he said that the insurance company for the University suggested settlement of this case. Mr. Bearrows also recommended settlement. A CONTINUING NEED FOR CONFIDENTIALITY EXISTS FOR THIS SECTION.
