UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

supported by the administration of the Chicago Circle campus, I should report that it represents a University-level decision which was determined after due consideration of objections to it raised by Chancellor Cheston. I should also report that the determination not to recommend a tuition increase in the amount of $90 per academic^ year is a University-level decision which was also made after a thorough review of several dissenting views. As strongly as I believe in our need for the funds which a larger tuition increase would provide, I am persuaded that an increase larger than that proposed would not be acceptable to the 1BHE nor to the General Assembly. In summary, I recommend that basic tuition levels for 1974-75 be increased by $60; that tuition charges for part-time students, for students in medicine and dentistry, and for nonresident students be increased proportionately; and that the IBHE be requested to increase its budget recommendation for the University of Illinois by approximately $1,000,000 and increase its estimate of income fund receipts by a corresponding amount. Representatives of the U n d e r g r a d u a t e Student Association and the Graduate Student Association had been granted permission to make an emergency appearance before the Board concerning this subject. Since, however, the representatives were not present at the time of the discussion, due to bad travel conditions, President Corbally summarized the U G S A and G S A positions. Michael Crowley, student trustee from the Urbana-Champaign campus, presented further information concerning the Undergraduate Student Association position. M r . H o w a r d reported on the December Board of H i g h e r Education meeting at which the tuition increase matter was discussed. H e then spoke against the proposed tuition increase. At this point, the representative of the U G S A appeared and presented that organization's views opposing the proposed increase. O n motion of Mr, Swain, the President's recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Hughes, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, M r s . Rader, Mr. S w a i n ; no, Mr, Forsyth, Mr. H o w a r d ; absent, D r . Bakalis, Mr. Steger, Governor Walker.
