recommended academic year increases for full-time resident students are: $48 for undergraduate and graduate students; $80 for dentistry students; $110 for medical students; and $64 for veterinary medical students. 1 These proposed increases are consistent with my review of many factors, including recommendations of the Illinois Board of Higher Education. These recommended increases also are reflected in the FY 1981 budget recommendations for the Illinois State Scholarship Commission which provide funding to offset the financial impact on undergraduate students. I believe the proposed increases to be reasonable and supportable within the philosophy of shared benefits/shared costs. Accordingly, I recommend approval of the following tuition schedule:

Abolition of Readmission Fee

(16) The University Planning Council has recommended that the $20 fee currently charged for readmission to the University be abolished effective with the Fall 1980 academic terms at all campuses. The University of Illinois is the only institution in the State of Illinois or among the "Big T e n " institutions presently charging a readmission fee. T h e fee docs not currently serve any necessary function and may unnecessarily discourage
