expected cost increases for operations in each of these activities, although a portion of the increase is directly related to a possible enrollment decline for the 1979-80 academic year and new program activities. T h e pharmacy fee at Chicago Circle supports the costs of medicine and drugs for students for prescriptions written by the Chicago Circle Health Service. T h e current $3.00 per quarter charge is part of the H M S Fee. After one year's operation in the pharmacy, however, the campus has determined that a $2.00 per student per quarter fee is sufficient to furnish unlimited usage by students of such prescription medicine and drugs. Therefore, a $1.00 reduction in this fee has been recommended. The vice president for administration concurs. I recommend approval. (For Illinois undergraduate students with financial need who hold full value Illinois State Scholarship Commission awards, the proposed fee increase will be covered by the Illinois State Scholarship Commission. Recommendations for fees to support student health insurance will be presented to the board at a later date for its approval.) O n m o t i o n of M r .

Increases in Tuition for 1 9 7 9 - 8 0 (16) I recommend a tuition increase for full-time resident students for fiscal year (FY) 1980, effective the fall term of 1979 as follows: $48 for undergraduate students; $64 for graduate students; and approximately 7 percent for students in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. 1 These changes, which are identical to those recommended by the Board of Higher Education, are reflected in the budget recommendations for FY 1980 for the Illinois State Scholarship Commission to offset the impact of tuition increases upon financially needy undergraduate students. T h e proposed increases are believed to be reasonable, supportable, and necessary for the continued protection of the quality education of the University. The tuition increases are within price guidelines, although the latest clarification of the guidelines does not restrict tuition increases. Accordingly, I recommend approval of the tuition schedule presented below. Tuition Schedule, 1979-80 T h e annual tuition rates, current and proposed, for full-time resident and nonresident students are indicated below. Rates for summer terms, reduced loads, and extension courses will be calculated in relation to the full-time resident and nonresident rates. Annual Tuition Rates 2 Urbana-Champaign NonResident resident Undergraduate Present Proposed $ 586 634 $1 758 1 902 Chicago Circle NonResident resident $ 585 633 $1 755 1 899 Medical Resident $ 585 633 Center Nonresident $1 755 1 899

1 Nonresident tuition would be increased in line with past practice at the level of three times resident student tuition. 1 Breakdown of tuition rates by terms and ranges will be calculated according to past practices in relation to full-time resident and nonresident rates.
