216 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 9 land for the future. Next, Mr. Margison reviewed the criteria for property acquisition. (A copy of the criteria is on file with the secretary.) President Ikenberry commented that this mechanism had been needed for about 20 years to help the University acquire property for future growth. Mr. Margison assured the board that they would approve all transfers of property to the University and that the Foundation would seek only to recover its costs. The Board of Trustees would thus usually pay a lower cost. The Foundation would assume the risk too. Mr. Margison indicated that the proposal for this program would be presented to the Foundation Board at an upcoming meeting. Report, Recommendations for Tuition and Fees Dr. Bazzani presented a proposed schedule for fees for student services for the 1995-96 academic year. (A copy of the information is on file with the secretary.) A discussion followed regarding those services to students that are supported by student fees. One example given was of coaches' salaries at Chicago which are paid from these fees. Dr. Bazzani then proceeded to describe the elements of tuition and student fees. He noted that these include: the service fee, the general fee, student fees, housing, and health service. He indicated that the fees at the University of Illinois compare very favorably to those of other institutions in Illinois. He also stressed that all of the proposed fees have been reviewed with students on both campuses and approved by the students. Interim Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Patricia Askew described this consultation process at the Urbana campus. Dr. Bazzani concluded his presentation by showing the board a summary of total college costs per year for students at Chicago and Urbana, both graduate and undergraduate. Ms. Lopez inquired about fees for computer use by students. Dr. Bazzani explained that the academic budget is used for funding computers for student use at the two campuses. There being no further business, the committee meeting was adjourned. BOARD MEETING RECESSED At 12:20 p.m., the board recessed for lunch and then reconvened in regular session at 1:30 p.m. MINUTES APPROVED The secretary presented for approval the press proofs of the minutes of the Board of Trustees meetings of July 7-8, 1994, and August 5, 1994, copies of which had previously been sent to the board.
