234 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 11 These fee and tuition increases have been reviewed and approved by the University Planning Council, the chancellors at each campus, and the vice president for academic affairs. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Grabowski, these recommendations were approved. (Student Trustee Forbes indicated that he would have cast an advisory vote in the negative on these recommendations.) Special Tuition and Fee Increases, Chicago and Urbana I (11) An increase in the application fee ($20 to $30 for domestic applications and $20 to $40 for foreign applications at Chicago; $25 to $30 for domestic applications and $35 to $40 for foreign applications at Urbana) has been recommended by each campus. Current revenue from the fees is used to partially support the processing costs in each campus' Office of Admissions and Records. Incremental revenue from these increases (approximately $447,000) will be used to offset the increasing costs of recruiting efforts and application processing. In addition, the Chicago office will be able to devote staff to the processing of foreign applications which require specialized evaluation. II Current extramural tuition charges at the Urbana-Champaign campus are set at $70 per semester credit hour without any differential for student level. As the programs mature, it has been recommended that a differential tuition rate structure would be more appropriate and equitable. While creating greater equity among charges by student level, this proposal provides incremental revenue which will be used to increase faculty incentives for teaching extramural courses, improve student services, and expand course offerings for the part-time adult student. To minimize the annual impact of creating a differential, these increases are proposed to be implemented over a five-year period. Over that period, a 2.25 percent differential will be added each year to upper division charges and a 5.0 percent differential will be added for graduate student charges. T h e following table lists the proposed rates for Fiscal Year 1992, prior to any regular tuition increases. Proposed, FY 19921 $70 72 74 Annual Percent Increase 0.00 2.25 5.00 Lower Division Upper Division Graduate FY 1991 $70 70 70 These fee and tuition increases have been reviewed and approved by the University Planning Council, the chancellors at each campus, and the vice president for academic affairs. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Grabowski, these recommendations were approved. 1 These rates will be adjusted subject to further revisions dependent on general tuition rate increases determined for all students.
