or $15 (Urbana-Champaign) will be charged to each student enrolling in an extramural credit course to offset administrative and library costs, respectively. Finally, $75 per credit hour will be charged for each extramural course for which the electronic blackboard is used, effective August 2 1 , 1983, to offset the costs of operating and maintaining the blackboard system. It is crucial to emphasize that these proposals are based upon the assumption that the level of State funding recommended by the Board of Higher Education in January ultimately will be achieved for FY 1984. Under those circumstances, the tuition revenue generated beyond that recommended by the Board of Higher Education will be used for academic program improvements in accord with Board of Trustees' approved priorities. Should the University's FY 1984 operating budget not approximate the level recommended by the Board of Higher Education, it will be necessary to return to the Board of Trustees to reshape income and expense projections, including the consideration of tuition increases beyond the levels presently recommended.

The rate increases are required to meet inflationary factors (salaries and wages, 1 utilities, general and raw food-price increases, and repair and replacement programs) and selected overhead costs.
