INCREASED ENROLLMENTS $19 254 892

T h e levels of enrollment increase projected for the University's three campuses during 1969-71 are shown in Schedule C above. Actual enrollments (head counts) are shown for 1967-68 and 1968-69 for the fall term of each year at each campus. The distribution of enrollments is shown for the following educational levels: freshman-sophomore, junior-senior, professional, graduate I, graduate II. The differential costs related to these levels are recognized in the budget formulae recommended by the staff of the Board of Higher Education for calculating enrollment-increase funds. Of special significance is the inclusion among these estimates of the funds needed for increases in the enrollment of medical students, as follows: (a) an increase of 20 first-year students at the Medical Center campus in 1969-70, with a corresponding increase in the second-year class in 1970-71; (b) a first-year "pilot" group of 25 medical students at the Urbana-Champaign campus in 1970-71. T h e latter program would be increased t o a first-year medical class of 100 students at the Urbana-Champaign campus as soon as the necessary facilities can be constructed. Thus, the University proposes to begin during 1969-71 the implementation of its participation in the expansion of medical enrollment recommended in Education in the Health Fields for State of Illinois — a comprehensive program recently approved by the Board of Higher Education. T h e combined increase for the two campuses would be 45 by 1970-71, to bring the total first-year medical enrollment to 250. T h e new organizational arrangements proposed for administering this and subsequent expansion of medical education are described in the last section of this document.

1 These figures were included in the 1967-69 budget request for operations as estimates of enrollment for 1968-69.
