1979] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 171 the president would present at a forthcoming meeting a recommendation that tuition be increased in accord with the recommendations of the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Dr. Corbally's memorandum stated: "While increased tuition levels may have been viewed as 'necessary' within the context of the Board of Higher Education recommendations, the need to secure these increases is now 'absolutely essential' given the governor's recent announcement regarding the amount of general revenue funds he will support for higher education within the Executive Budget." T h e overall weighted average increase for all students is well within the new federal guidelines for wages and prices. However, Vice President Brady reported that a recent ruling would exclude the University of Illinois, as a public institution, from the federal price standards (except for the University Hospital). Thus, although the University is not governed by the presidential standards, it will be in compliance with them. 1 T h e report and information were received by the board and referred to the Committee on Student Welfare and Activities which will conduct a hearing in advance of the March meeting to receive testimony on the tuition increases. CONSIDERATION OF AGENDA AS PREPARED FOR THE JANUARY 17,1979, MEETING T h e board considered the following reports and recommendations from the president of the University. Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates (1) The Committee on Accountancy recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded, under Section 5 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended, to fourteen candidates who have presented evidence that they are holders of valid and unrevoked certified public accountant certificates obtained by passing a standard written examination in another state or territory of the United States and who qualify in all other respects under this provision of the law. The names of the candidates are filed with the secretary. I concur. T h e cancellation of the January meeting of the Board of Trustees, and resultant failure to approve these awards, would have caused the individuals involved to miss a deadline for further action on their certificates by the State Department of Registration and Education. Accordingly, with the concurrence of the president of the board, the president of the University authorized the approval of the awards. (See item no. 18 for the confirmation of this action by the Board of Trustees.) Acting Executive Dean, College of Medicine, Medical Center (2) The chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended the appointment of Dr. Morton C. Creditor, presently associate dean of the School of Clinical Medicine at Urbana-Champaign, as acting executive dean of the College of Medicine, 'Subsequently (on March 23, 1979) the Council on Wage and Price Stability revoked the exemption of public colleges and universities.
