BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[May 17

of accidental death and dismemberment benefits up to $3,000 in connection with loss incurred while off campus. Students are now required to purchase this coverage individually at a rate of 25 cents per day for all University field trips. This coverage will save students approximately $1,500 a semester and will relieve the faculty members in charge of field trips of the chore of checking on insurance coverage of all students concerned. T h e increases in premiums are reasonable on the basis of the Company's experience this year, since the benefits paid by the Company thus far are running ahead of the premiums paid by the University. No changes will be necessary in the amounts charged to students or staff; the difference between the charges and the insurance premiums is still sufficient to cover administrative costs. After consultation with student and faculty groups, the Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges recommends that students be required to participate in the student insurance plan and that the staff plan be made available to the Chicago Professional Colleges staff on a voluntary basis; and that a student fee of $6.00 per quarter be charged all students enrolled in the Chicago Professional Colleges. Students who have equivalent insurance coverage may secure exemption from the fee as at the other campuses. Optional coverage may be provided for a student's wife for an additional $9.00 per quarter and for children at an additional $6.00 per quarter each. Coverage during the summer quarter will be optional at the same rates. The Company will add the Chicago Professional staff coverage at the same rate and provide the same benefits as the Urbana staff plan. The student plan will provide the same benefits as the Chicago Undergraduate Division plan, which are higher than the Urbana benefits. T h e premium will be $5.05 per quarter for a student, $7.31 additional for a spouse, and $5.21 for one or more children. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved.
