BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[December 17

to press for necessary tax support of its programs, it is clear that some increase in the portion of our income provided by student tuition is necessary. Accordingly, the Committee on General Policy recommends to the Board of Trustees approval of the tuition increases as recommended by the President of the University on November 19, 1971.

On motion of Mr. Steger, the report was approved as submitted. The recommendation as approved is as follows:

Increases in Tuition and Fees for 1972-73 I. Tuition The University Committee on Fees recommends that the basic tuition rates at all campuses be increased to the levels recommended by the Board of Higher Education at its meeting on November 30, 1970. In general, the increases recommended by that Board would raise tuition as follows: (a) for Illinois residents, to one-third the cost of undergraduate instruction as determined in the 1968-69 cost study conducted under the auspices of the Board of Higher Education; (b) for nonresident students, to the full cost of undergraduate instruction as determined in the 1968-69 cost study. These basic rates would be applicable to all curricula at the Chicago Circle campus and the Urbana-Champaign campus (except the medical program of the School of Basic Medical Sciences). They would also be applicable at the Medical Center campus to all curricula except the professional programs in dentistry and in medicine. On an annual basis, the present and the proposed tuition rates would be as follows: Resident (Annual) Nonresident (Annual) Chicago Circle Medical Center Basic rate Dentistry Medicine Urbana-Champaign Basic rate Medicine Present $396 396 684 783 396 783 Proposed $ 495 495 783 882 496 882 Present $ 1 254 1 254 1542 1 641 1 254 1 641 Proposed $ 1 485 1 485 1641 1 872 1 486 1 872

Schedules showing detailed tuition rates per semester or quarter — and for the four ranges corresponding to credit loads — are filed with the Secretary for record. II. Fees The Student Service Fee and the Student Hospital-Medical-Surgical Fee are the only fees applicable to all students. (Certain students receive fee waivers in connection with various awards.) The following is a summary of the present and proposed annual rates for each type of fee (full-time students): Student Service Hospital-MedicalFee (Annual) Surgical Fee Total Fees ProProProPresent posed Present posed Present posed Chicago Circle $96 $96 $30 $30 $126 $126 Medical Center Chicago campus 138 162 30 33 168 195 Peoria and Rockford . . . . - 0 -030 33 30 33 Urbana-Champaign 116 116 46 46 162 162 The increase in the student service fee at the Medical Center campus becomes necessary in order to meet rising costs related to the operation of the Chicago Mini Union. In the case of the hospital-medical-surgical fee at the Urbana-Champaign campus, the amount to be charged is subject to negotiation with the present carrier or to the receipt of new bids. The schedules referred to in I. show the amounts for both types of fees per
