504 I recommend approval. BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 17 On motion of Mr. Howard, this appointment was approved. (Vice Chancellor Goldwasser was present and was introduced to the trustees.) Tuition and Fees, Fiscal Year 1981 (Report for Information) (6) A recommendation to the Board of Trustees for tuition levels for FY81 will be an agenda item for the February meeting of the board. In conformance with our objectives outlined this year, we expect that recommendations for fees and room and board charges at all campuses also will be an agenda item at the April meeting of the board. The student health insurance charge is scheduled for review at the May board meeting; that item will conclude the review of charges for FY81. In anticipation of these forthcoming recommendations, we have prepared the following background information based on the information currently available. Present Tuition Levels T h e tuition for full-time Illinois resident undergraduates at Chicago Circle is $633 per year; for nonresidents it is $1,899. T h e equivalent numbers are $678 and $2,034 for graduate students. At the Medical Center tuition is $633 and $1,899 for undergraduate residents and nonresidents respectively. Resident tuition for the School of Medicine is $1,440 and $4,320 for nonresidents; for the College of Dentistry it is $1,035 and $3,105; and for graduate students at the Medical Center, tuition is $678 and $2,034. At Urbana-Champaign, undergraduate resident tuition is $634 and nonresident is $1,902. For graduate students, tuition is $680 and $2,040. For veterinary medicine the rates are $860 and $2,580. The comparability of these tuition rates for the University of Illinois and selected institutions nationwide is shown in the document, "Some Information on Tuition and Fees," which the Board of Trustees routinely receives each year. We have calculated the permissible increases in tuition which would conform to the Anti-inflationary Pay and Price Standards published by the Council on Wage and Price Stability ( C O W P S ) , if tuition alone is measured as a specific item of price. T h a t number is $58 for full-time resident undergraduates based on the price limitation formula; and for all other categories, the same percentage that $58 represents to a base of $633 — about 9.2%. The Illinois Board of Higher Education has recommended a base increase in tuition for FY81 of $48 per academic year for undergraduate and graduate students, $110 for medicine; $80 for dental medicine and $64 for veterinary medicine. Included in the IBHE overall budget recommendation are sufficient funds for Illinois State Scholarship Commission (ISSC) to offset the recommended tuition increase for undergraduate students with financial need. The IBHE recommendation is: Category' Undergraduate Graduate Veterinary Medicine Medicine Dentistry U of I Base $ 633 680 860 1 440 1 035 Increase $ 48 48 64 110 80 Percentage 7.58% 7.06 7.44 7.64 7.73 A proportional increase is presumed for all categories not shown.
