Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates

(14) The Committee on Accountancy recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded, under Section 5 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended, to fourteen candidates who have presented evidence that they are holders of valid and unrevoked certified public accountant certificates obtained by passing a standard written examination in another state or territory of the United States and who qualify in all other respects under this provision of the law. The names of the candidates are filed with the secretary. I concur in these recommendations.

Tuition and General Fee Levels for Executive MBA Program, Urbana

(15) In February of 1979 the Board of Trustees approved a $260 change in general fees charged students in the Executive Master of Business Administration program, raising those fees from $700 to $960; the level of tuition ($2,800) was not changed at that time. T h e dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration and the chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus have now recommended a $1,150 increase in the tuition rate and a $40 increase in the general fees and charges associated with the program. Rising costs associated with the program have made the increases necessary. These proposed increases would be applied to the Executive MBA class entering in the fall of 1980. This recommendation has been approved by the University Planning Council and by the vice president for administration. I concur.
