1972] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 551 $15 t o $20, effective with applications for admission to the second term of the 1972-73 academic year (second semester at Urbana-Champaign, winter quarter at Chicago Circle and the Medical Center) and thereafter. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d . INCREASES IN T H E HOSPITAL-MEDICAL-SURGICAL FEE (3) The University Committee on Fees 1 recommends increases in the hospitalmedical-surgical fee (as indicated below for each campus), to become effective for the fall term of 1972 and thereafter, in order to cover the full cost of the student health insurance program and the University student health services. The health insurance portion of the fee may be waived upon the presentation of evidence of insurance coverage equivalent to the University program. The health services portion, designed to cover the cost of providing on-campus health services to students, is not subject to waiver on the basis of other insurance coverage. The recommended increases will be covered by the Illinois State Scholarship Commission (ISSC) for Illinois resident undergraduate students with financial need who hold full-value I S S C awards. C h i c a g o Circle Students at the Chicago Circle campus currently pay a hospital-medical-surgical fee of $10 per quarter to cover the cost of health insurance. An additional fee of $5 per quarter is recommended to cover the cost of student health services provided by the University. The total hospital-medical-surgical fee would be increased from $10 to $15 per quarter. Medical C e n t e r On December 17, 1971, the Board of Trustees approved an increase in the hospital-medical-surgical fee from $10 to $11 per quarter for students at the Medical Center, effective for the summer quarter of 1972 and thereafter, to cover the cost of the student health insurance program. An additional fee of $10 per quarter, to cover the cost of health services provided by the University, is now recommended. This will increase the hospital-medical-surgical fee from $11 to $21 per quarter, effective for the fall quarter of 1972 and thereafter. Urbana-Champaign At present, students on the Urbana-Champaign campus pay a hospital-medicalsurgical fee of $23 per semester or summer session, which includes $15 to cover the cost of health insurance, and $8 to cover the cost of health care at McKinley Hospital. An increase of $14 is recommended to cover the cost of additional oncampus health services, bringing the total hospital-medical-surgical fee to $37 per semester or summer session — an amount comparable to that now being charged students on residential campuses of other universities, private and state-supported. The health insurance premiums included in the above figures for all three campuses are effective through August, 1972. The premium by campus for 1972-73 has not been determined as of this date. If there is to be a change in the premium it will be submitted for Board consideration and action in May, 1972. The following is a summary of the present and proposed annual rates for the hospital-medical-surgical fee for each campus: 1072-73 Chicago Circle (three quarters) Medical Center (three quarters) Urbana-Champaign (two semesters) Present $ 30 33 46 Proposed $ 45 63 74 It is understood that the establishment of these rate increases would be subject to the regulations of the Federal Price Commission and Cost of Living Council. I recommend approval. In considering this recommendation, at the request of Chancellor Peltason, 1 Lyle H. Lanier, Executive Vice President and Provost, Chairman; Herbert O. Farber, Vice President and Comptroller; Joseph S. Begando, Chancellor at the Medical Center campus; Warren B. Cheston, Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus; Jack W. Peltason, Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus; E. Eugene Oliver, Director of the University Office of School and College Relations.
