BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[January

15

T h e change would permit refugees, after completing their required minimum two-year residence in the United States, to apply for permanent resident status and to be accorded Illinois residence by the University if they "meet and comply with all of the other applicable requirements" to establish resident status. Other categories of applicants for permanent resident status would be required to file a petition, which would have to be approved by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, prior to filing the application for permanent resident status. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved.

Increase in Special Fees for Flight Training Courses, Urbana

(10) Students enrolled in flight training courses in the Institute of Aviation currently are charged special fees for each semester course as outlined below. With the exception of certain new course fees approved by the Board in the period 1969-1972, these fees were established by the Trustees on February 19, 1969. A cost study, recently completed, has shown that the Institute fails to recover sufficient funds from these fees to meet the costs of operations, including the amount required to offset depreciation of the training aircraft. Since 1969, the Institute has replaced the major portion of the fleet with more sophisticated airplanes which require a higher fuel consumption and more complex parts and labor to maintain. The cost of fuel has more than doubled since 1969; further, the proposed flight fees are commensurate with the actual number of flight hours and type of airplane or ground trainer required, and provide as well for flight aid materials (log book, navigational computer, syllabus, work book, etc.), which were not previously included, but were paid for by the student apart from the flight fee. In order to provide the additional funds needed to offset present losses and to meet expected cost increases for FY 1975-76, the Director of the Institute of Aviation has recommended the following increases in fees effective with the 1975 summer session: Proposed Flight Fee Present Flight Fee (Includes (Does not include flight aid Course Number flight aid materials) materials) Aviation 101 — Private Pilot $550 $700 Aviation 102 — Orientation Refresher 275 360 Aviation 105 — Soaring 1 245 325 Aviation 115 — Soaring I I 245 325 Aviation 120 — Secondary Flight 550 790 Aviation 130 — Intermediate Flight 550 725 Aviation 140 — Advanced Flight 550 780 Aviation 200 — Basic Instrument Flight 550 730 Aviation 210 — Advanced Instrument Flight 550 730 Aviation 220 — Flight Instructor 550 520 Aviation 222 — Instrument Flight Instructor 350 410 Aviation 224 — All Attitude Orientation 275 300 Aviation 280 — Special Ratings M E L 550 610 Aviation 291 — Special Ratings a n d / o r Specialized Flight 550 730 T h e Chancellor at Urbana-Champaign and the University Planning Council 1 recommend approval.
