1988] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 515 Student Fees, Chicago and Urbana (Student Service, Health Service, General, Computer, and Health Insurance Fees) (16) T h e chancellors at each campus have recommended student fee levels for Fiscal Year 1989 to support auxiliary operations and student activities, student health services, and the student health insurance program. The fees recommended are required to meet continuing components (salaries and wages, utilities, and general price increases, including food), student programs and operating costs including debt service and repair and replacement programs of facilities which comprise the Auxiliary Facilities System. Chicago At Chicago, support of $13 for Student Counseling Services is being transferred from the student service fee to the health service fee to broaden the fee support for these services which are used by all students. Ten dollars of the student service fee will be reassigned to the general fee to continue implementation of the FY 1988 policy t h a t all students share in the fixed costs of auxiliary operations and activities. It is proposed that the service fee be increased by $8 and the health service fee by $2 to cover wage and price increases and program development necessitated by the opening of the new student residence hall in September 1989. There is no fee increase planned for the student H M O program. The overall FY 1989 increase in student fees proposed for the Chicago campus is $10 per quarter or 4.1 percent. Urbana-Champaign T h e Urbana-Champaign campus will reassign $2 from the service fee to the general fee to continue implementation of the FY 1989 policy that all students share in the fixed costs of supporting auxiliary operations and activities. A $1 increase is being proposed for allocation to the Mini Union. These actions will result in a decrease of $1 in the service fee for FY 1989. Twelve dollars is to be transferred from the health service fee to the general fee to include the fixed costs for the Counseling Center and McKinley Health Service. This provides a consistent policy framework for the assessment of these costs throughout the system. Further, it is proposed that the computer fee be increased $10 to help meet the student need for access to microcomputers on campus. As a result of increased claims, a $2 increase in the health insurance rate is proposed, to restore it to the level paid in 1986-87. The total increase in fees for the Urbana-Champaign campus is $13 per semester or 4.2 percent. T h e accompanying table presents current and proposed fee levels for the programs described above. T h e vice president for business and finance concurs in the recommendations. I recommend approval.
