256 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [Aprils Article IX. Academic and Administrative Staffs Sec. 1. Criteria for Employment and Promotion The basic criteria for employment and promotion of all University Staff, whether or not subject to the act creating the University Civil Service System of Illinois, shall be appropriate qualifications for and performance of the specified duties. The principles of equal employment opportunity are a part of the general policy of the University. Unless otherwise provided by law, employees are to be selected and treated during employment without regard to political affiliation, relationship by blood or marriage, age, sex, race, creed, [or] national origin, handicap, or status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era.1 Increase, Student Service Fee, Medical Center (14) The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus has recommended an increase in the student service fee of $4.00 per quarter for full-time students, effective September 1, 1977. Proportionate increases would be assessed students with less than a full-time program. The service fee, which is now $73.00 per quarter for full-time students, would be $77.00 per quarter. The service fee at the Medical Center campus is used to meet operating expenses and debt service requirements of the 1951 Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Revenue Bonds and the Medical Center Revenue Bonds of 1964. The functions within these bond issues include the Chicago Illini Union, the Second Unit, DMP (a classroom-office-laboratory section of the Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Building) , the Student Residence Hall, campus programs, student activities, campus recreation, and student government. This recommendation is based solely on the need to adjust for cost escalations which have occurred in the past year and does not involve new programs or services. It is necessary to increase the service fee to maintain the same level of services. The increase has been reviewed by the Chicago Illini Union Board as well as by the Medical Center Executive Student Council. I concur in this recommendation. On motion of Mr. Lenz, this recommendation was approved. Increase, Student Health Service Fee, Medical Center (15) The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus has recommended that the Hospital-Medical-Surgical (HMS) Fee be increased by $10.00, to a total fee of $36.00 per student per quarter, beginning with the fall term of 1977. The fee is composed of two portions: (1) one covers the cost of student health insurance and is presently $16.00 per student per quarter and (2) the other supports the costs associated with on-campus student health services and is presently $10.00 per student per quarter. The $10.00 increase recommended affects only the on-campus student health services portion. The health insurance portion is now being negotiated, and a recommendation will be made to the Board of Trustees in June 1977. Last year, when administrative consideration was being given to increasing the HMS Fee, the Executive Student Council at the Medical Center asked that there be no increase until a review of the actual costs of on-campus student health services could be completed. The request was honored. Current data reflect a considerable subsidy of on-campus student health services by the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics. All funds now derived from the health services portion of the HMS Fee are being used to maintain the daily operation of the Student Health 1 New language is in italics; deletions are in brackets.
