University of Iowa president Virgil M. M. Hancher explained a reform to the medical school faculty practice. The plan would place all private practice income into a general fund and allocate salaries as base pay plus a share from the fund, with full professors at 100 percent and lower ranks at 75 and 50 percent respectively.
