lish a series of intensive summer courses leading to the M.S. degree in Computer Science. Standard University admission criteria would be maintained for all enrollees. Each summer, beginning in 1980, two five-week courses will be offered for a total of one and one-half units of graduate credit; and one-half to one unit of credit will be awarded for thesis research projects. Therefore, the eight units necessary for the degree can be obtained in five summers, with the thesis written in absentia. Tuition rates will be based on total instructional costs, to be shared on a per capita basis among participating Western Electric employees; and regular University graduate students (or staff) for whom tuition has not been waived. The specific tuition charge assessed to each such paying participant will be determined annually based on total instructional program costs and the total enrollment level. It is intended that the total instructional program costs in each year be funded completely by the tuition payments. For the summer of 1980 (June 16 — July 18), instructional program costs are projected to be $23,000. With a projected enrollment of thirty students, the tuition rate for the first summer will be approximately $766 per student. Standard student fees for the summer term will be charged and present rules on tuition waivers for graduate students and staff will be applicable. The chancellor at the Urbana campus has recommended that the comptroller and the secretary be authorized to execute a contract for the proposed program, on the basis described above. The vice president for administration and the vice president for academic affairs concur in this recommendation. I recommend approval.
