Tuition Rate Increases for Fiscal Year 1992, Chicago and Urbana

(10) In March, the Board of Trustees reviewed background information on tuition rates at each campus and received preliminary recommendations for Fiscal Year 1992. In their annual recommendations to the governor and General Assembly, the Illinois Board of Higher Education included a 5 percent general tuition increase. T h e governor has also included this increase in his budget. In certain professional programs, further tuition increases are recommended to support academic program advancements not included in the IBHE recommendations. For undergraduate and graduate tuition, it is recommended that rates increase by 5 percent, the first increase in tuition since FY 1989. Such an increase will provide incremental revenue as required by the IBHE recommendation and the governor's budget. For tuition charged to law students, it is recommended that rates increase an additional 10 percent or $328. T h e incremental revenue from this increase will be used to support instructional and student-related activities in the College of Law. Areas such as the student placement office, international law, and clinical education (trial skills) would receive the majority of the funds. For tuition charged to veterinary medicine students, it is recommended that rates increase an additional $500 (11.6 percent) over the general tuition increase. These funds will be used to meet operating expenses for professional instruction at both the college and department levels. Specifically, needs such as student microscopes, networking of computer audiovisual equipment, laboratories, library support, animal carcasses for dissection, and other clinical instructional needs will be addressed. T h e following tables detail the actions being recommended concerning annual tuition rates for FY 1992.
