418 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [October 12 counsel of the Academic Affairs Management Team, was reviewed by the University Policy Council, and is recommended for adoption by the vice president for academic affairs. I concur. Tuition Policy and Guidelines The University of Illinois Board of Trustees upon recommendation by the Administration sets tuition charges to students according to the following considerations: • The three campuses of the University of Illinois serve different groups of students, incur different costs, and are differently perceived as to a reasonable price for their degrees. Tuition charges will therefore vary among campuses, as may the rate of tuition charge increase in any year. • Because student access to the University of Illinois is a high priority, tuition decisions are made in relationship to financial aid policy and resources, with the goal of minimizing financial barriers for all admitted students. • Students and families should bear a fair share of their costs of higher education. • Insofar as tuition revenue supplements state general funds in support of University programs, tuition charges will respond to variations in State support. • Relevant cost and price indices include the CPI, HEPI, Illinois disposable income, and tuition charges at peer institutions. • Tuition charges are expected to be higher for graduate programs than for undergraduate programs and even higher for first-professional graduate degree programs that are in highly remunerated professions or are very costly to offer. • Tuition charges to non-resident students should cover the cost of instruction. At the undergraduate level this is equated roughly to a 3:1 ratio of nonresident to resident tuition rates. Refinement of cost-of-instruction measures may lead to changes in that ratio, or supersede it. At the graduate level, this ratio may not be applied due to higher resident charges or competitive pressure from peer institutions. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar, Mrs. O'Malley. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.) SECRETARY'S REPORT The secretary presented for record appointments to the faculty and changes of status made by the president, resignations, terminations, and retirements. A copy of the report is filed with the secretary. ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD Chair Lamont called attention to the schedule of meetings for the next few months: November 9, 1995, Springfield; January 18, 1996, Urbana (Annual Meeting); February 8, Chicago (one-day meeting). There is no meeting scheduled for December.
