BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[May 14

In its annual recommendations to the governor and General Assembly, the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) included a 4 percent tuition increase, along with an increase of 7.8 percent in general tax funds. The governor's budget incorporates a tuition increase of this magnitude, but provides no additional State tax support for higher education and makes permanent the base recision imposed at midyear. This budget leaves the University of Illinois below the level needed to meet unavoidable cost increases and significantly below that required to maintain the quality of the University's instructional programs and meet incremental inflationary cost requirements. Substantial operating budget reductions will be required for FY 1993. Pending final action by the General Assembly, it appears that a reduction in general tax funds from the FY 1992 appropriation level will be required. Given budget conditions this constrained and given reallocation requirements this large, the tuition increase originally recommended by the IBHE for FY 1993 is inadequate. For undergraduate and graduate tuition, it is therefore recommended that rates increase as shown below. These incremental increases, generally in the range of 10 percent to 11 percent, along with major unit reallocation throughout the University, will help to meet minimal unavoidable cost requirements. The following tables detail the actions being recommended concerning annual resident and nonresident tuition rates'for FY 1993.
