The BUH was established in 1969 to advise the Yale Corporation regarding the Yale University Health Services (YUHS), which had been recently transformed from a traditional student health service into a comprehensive, prepaid health care plan available to employees and faculty as well as students. Given the boldness of this reorganization (HMO-like organizations were extremely rare at the time), the Corporation initially charged the BUH to monitor the YUHS’ development and its impact on the health and health care of the University community. During the early years of the YUHS, the BUH engaged in setting standards, formulating policy, and fostering the growth and acceptance of Yale’s new and innovative health care delivery system. The BUH now serves to review and advise the YUHS and University leadership regarding proposed changes in health care programs, benefits and budgets. The BUH also serves as the governing body of the YUHS for purposes of State licensure and Joint Commission accreditation.

The ESCRO has been convened to explore and address the many ethical, scientific, and policy questions associated with human embryonic stem cell research and to oversee the derivation and use of human embryonic and other human totipotent and pluripotent stem cell lines at the University and/or by Yale investigators. More specifically, the ESCRO will, among other duties, review research proposals involving human embryonic/toti-pluripotent cell lines (hES research); monitor and promote compliance of hES research with all relevant regulations, policies, and guidelines; maintain registries of hES research conducted at Yale and hES cell lines derived or imported by University investigators; and facilitate the education of investigators and research personnel involved in hES research in related ethical, legal and policy issues. To exercise its responsibilities the ESCRO must draw upon expertise from a variety of disciplines, including ethics, law, developmental and molecular biology, and assisted reproduction. The membership of the ESCRO is carefully considered to include this range of expertise and experience.

Yale’s Operating and Capital Budgets express in financial terms the wide array of programs and initiatives both under way and planned. The need to understand what programs cost, how they are funded, and the implications of current decisions for the longer-term well-being of the University are all subjects for constant review as we build the next budget and plan for the allocation of resources over the long term. The University Budget Committee plays an important advisory role in this process.
