BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 10

role in enhancing the ability of the State of Illinois t o develop and attract high technology industry. Funds for the institute building are being provided by the $40 million Beckman gift and from an appropriation by the State of Illinois. Funding is also expected from Federal sources and private industry. Since most faculty members associated with the institute will hold full-time appointments in academic units, it is anticipated that there will be no full-time faculty except for visiting-faculty positions. T h e chancellor, the vice chancellor for academic affairs, and the vice chancellor for research have recommended establishment of the Beckman Institute. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

T h e rates reflect increases in fuel, maintenance, and parts; but a substantial increase in insurance accounts for the largest portion of the increase. 1 These increases would be effective with the fall semester of the 1986-87 academic year. T h e chancellor at Urbana has recommended approval of the fees as indicated. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Madden, this recommendation was approved.

For these reasons, frequent increases in these fees are required. The present fee levels were established in 1985 and the previous levels were approved in 1983.
