BUSINESS PRESENTED BY T H E PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY The Board considered the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University.

PRESIDENT'S REPORTS

President Corbally presented a report on selected topics of current interest, copies of which were distributed at the meeting, and a copy was filed with the Secretary of the Board. Increases in Tuition and Fees for 1972-73 T h e President also presented a recommendation on Increases in Tuition and Fees for 1972-73 (see December 17, 1971, minutes for complete text of this i t e m ) . President Corbally stated that in the preparation of the recommendation the administrative officers had been in contact with the Illinois State Scholarship Commission ( I S S C ) . T h e University has been informed, he indicated, that the I S S C will seek funds from the General Assembly based upon the implications of increased tuition levels as recommended by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Reportedly, the Commission is still considering its position regarding the provision of scholarship aid to graduate students and to part-time students. By the December meeting of the Board of Trustees the University may have sufficient information to enable the trustees to arrive at a position with regard to the I S S C proposals. Mr. H u g h e s asked that the recommendation be referred to the Committee on General Policy, with the understanding that the Committee will conduct hearings before the next meeting of the Board of Trustees. It was suggested that the hearings be sufficiently broad to provide an opportunity for appropriate faculty, students, and other groups to be heard. In addition, it was suggested that the Director of the Bureau of the Budget and the Executive Director of the Board of Higher Education be invited to attend to provide background information. O n motion of Mr. H a h n , the Trustees approved the referral of this item to the Committee on General Policy and the plan for the hearings as indicated above.
