THE UNIVERSITY BUDGET FOR 1931-32

(20) A recommendation that the budget for thefiscalyear beginning July I, 1931, and the academic year beginning September 1, 1931, which is submitted herewith, be approved, contingent on the approval of the University's appropriations for !93!-33; and that the President of the University be authorized to make such changes and adjustments as may be necessary, to make such additional appointments as arc necessary, and to accept resignations offered, in accordance with the needs of thr University and the equitable interests involved. The University Appropriation Bill, as passed by the Legislature, allots to the University a total of $11,280,000 for the next biennium, of which #1,400,000 is for the medical and dental building in Chicago. There is thus available for operating expenses for the biennium a total of #9,880,000, which is an increase of #350,000 from State funds over that of the last biennium. In addition, fees for State students have been increased from #25 to #35 a semester by action of the Board and fees for out-of-State students from #37.50 to #62.50. The increased funds available for operating purposes for next year therefore arc as follows: I. Increase in State appropriation for next year, #175,000. 2. Estimated increase in student fees and miscellaneous, #230,000. This latterfigureis computed on a conservative basis. The miscellaneous item includes sales from all sources (except Agriculture) and a shrinkage of #25,000 is allowed in this miscellaneous item. The item of income from student fees is estimated on a possible slight shrinkage in the number of students paying fees next year. I believe we can safely assume that thefigureof #230,000 will be exceeded in our actual receipts. The available funds for next year, therefore, show an increase of #405,000 over last year for operating purposes. This we have tried to budget very conservatively in order to allow for all possible sources of uncertainty for next year.
