Tuition Adjustment for Study Abroad Programs, Dijon, France

(20) On June 17, 1982, the Board of Trustees approved a recommendation that University students enrolled in study abroad programs in Lower Austria at Baden, the University of Barcelona, and the Konan U.iiversity be assessed tuition at an amount equal to the Range I V level. A similar program will be conducted at the University of Dijon (France) starting in fall of 1982, and now it is recommended that students enrolling in that program be assessed tuition at the same level. T h e Dijon program was not included in the original recommendation because the contractual arrangements with the University of Dijon were not clear at that time.
