Accordingly, to sustain an adequate expense budget and to remain current in the delivery of such instruction, the establishment of an expense fee of $10 per correspondence course is recommended beginning with the academic year 1987-88. Revenue generated by the fee will be used to improve and enhance instructional materials and communications methods. The new fee has been reviewed and approved by the appropriate officers at the Urbana campus and by the University Planning Council. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M i s s S m i t h , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s approved.

Student Fees (Amended); and Establishment of HMO, Chicago I

(18) The chancellor at Chicago has recommended an amendment to the student fees for Fiscal Year 1988 as proposed at the Board of Trustees meeting of April 9, 1987. The total fee at Chicago would remain at $244 per quarter, the amount assessed in Fiscal Year 1987. The health service fee supports the on-campus health services for students and would increase in FY 1988. The health insurance fee will cover the costs of a student HMO offered by the University of Illinois Hospital and will decrease. The following table presents current fee levels and those now proposed, as well as those presented on April 9. II The attached documents provide extensive background information with regard to the establishment of an HMO for students at Chicago. (Copies of the documents are filed with the secretary of the board.) Essentially, all students would pay the student health service fee, as in the current situation. Their primary care would be provided by the staff in the two locations on campus. Should students need hospitalization, they would have an option under the new proposal. They could select to have their care at the University of Illinois Hospital, and 100 percent of their care listed under the agreement would be paid for. If students selected a hospital other than the University of Illinois, they could do so, but they would be required to pay deductibles and copayments as is the case with their current insurance program. The vice president for business and finance concurs in the recommendations. I recommend approval of the student fees now proposed for the Chicago campus; and approval of the HMO plan as described.
