c. $240 — Dentistry d. $335 — Veterinary medicine (Each of the differential increases listed above would be levied in addition to the 10 percent general across-the-board increase.) 4. Proportional increases are recommended as well for FY 1983 for part-time students, for nonresident students, and for correspondence and extramural courses, thus continuing policies that now exist for these areas. These increases, their relationship to current tuition levels, and the estimates oi funds they will generate, are shown on the following table. The general increase of 10 percent is identical with the level expected to be recommended by the Illinois Board of Higher Education and it is approximately the same as the most recent annual increase in the Higher Education Price Index — benchmarks applied last year in establishing tuition increases. T h e additional differentials recommended for upper division students and for graduate students are based upon the higher instructional costs incurred for these students. T h e recommended differential increases for the professional programs are intended to bring the University to the level of third place among the public universities in the Big Ten over the next few years.
