which will permit progress without additional across-the-board tuition increases. Some minor revenue adjustments are required to achieve the overall FY 1986 appropriation level for the University Income Fund. Consistent with the plan discussed in March, these adjustments can be accomplished through certain professional school tuition increases to help bring overall tuition and fee levels to a position to enable the University to recruit staff and otherwise compete with similar institutions. As summarized in the accompanying table, I recommend that the Board of Trustees establish tuition levels for FY 1986 as follows: 1. A 5 percent increase for all student levels. 2. Additional increases beyond 5 percent for certain professional schools as follows: a. $200 for students in Law (total increase, $300) b. $259 for students in Veterinary Medicine (total increase, $400) c. $236 for students in Medicine (total increase, $426). 3. Proportional increases, as appropriate, for part-time students, for nonresident students, and for correspondence and extramural courses to continue policies that now exist.

Tuition Increases for Executive MBA and Policy Economics Programs

(18) Two University programs at the Urbana-Champaign campus are "full cost recovery programs," i.e., all costs are met through a combination of tuition and charges to students. These are: the Executive MBA Program and the Program in Policy Economics, both in the College of Commerce and Business Administration. Tuition and fee charges in each program are reviewed annually. For Fiscal Year 1986, the following actions are proposed for the Executive MBA Program: Proposed FY 1985 FY 1986 Increase Tuition $5 150 $5 900 $750 Fee* 1600 1400 —200 Total $6 750 $7 300 $550 (8.1 percent)
