appointed in equal numbers by the University and the Art Institute will advise and counsel the Chancellor of Chicago Circle campus and the President of the Art Institute on all matters related thereto. In order that the income generated to Chicago Circle from tuition charges to students enrolled in the professional programs of the Goodman School approximate the University's program costs, the Chancellor proposes that a special tuition level be established for such students. For the 1974-75 academic year, the tuition level proposed is $1,200 per academic year for a full-time student who is a resident of Illinois and $1,800 for a non-resident of the state. (The tuition levels for students in regular Chicago Circle programs are $495 per academic year for residents and $1,485 for non-residents.) Students of the Goodman School would also be subject to the mandatory fees authorized for all Chicago Circle students by the Board of Trustees for 1974-75. In addition, the Chancellor at Chicago Circle has proposed that authorization be granted to award the degrees of Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and Master of Fine Arts ( M F . A . ) to students enrolled as University of Illinois students in the Goodman School of Drama. This authorization would be limited to a three-year period beginning fall quarter 1974. T h e Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination endorses this proposal. I recommend authorization of a contract between the University of Illinois and the Art Institute of Chicago containing the elements mentioned above and approval of the foregoing tuition levels and degree programs, subject to Illinois Board of Higher Education action where required.

On motion of Mr. Swain, authority was given as recommended.

(36) On June 19, 1974, the Board of Trustees authorized the acquisition of the property at 901-903 South Sixth Street, Champaign, from the University of Illinois Foundation. T h e Foundation was requested to accomplish termination of the leases of six tenants as of December 31, 1974, at a cost within appraisals, but has been unable to d o so. Title to the property is being conveyed to the University for a price of $137,240, subject to the leases. It is recommended that the University exercise its power of eminent domain and institute condemnation proceedings to acquire the interests of those tenants who are not willing to settle for prices based upon appraisals and special contract obligations.
