BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 18

The vice president for academic affairs now recommends, consistent with tuition principles endorsed by the board in 1993, approval of a general tuition increase of 3.5 percent for Fiscal Year 1996 for all students. To help simplify the tuition rate structure, the final phase-out of the current differential between lower- and upperdivision rates is recommended, with all revenue to be directed to undergraduate academic program improvements, particularly for first-year students. Continuation of tuition increases approved last year is recommended for professional school programs in Medicine, Dentistry, and the MBA programs, to provide revenue for academic program improvements. All proposed tuition actions are outlined in the following table. I concur.

On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese; no, Ms. Lopez; absent, Governor Edgar, Mr. Grabowski. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, none; no, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose.)
