a routine matter. The Colleges of Medicine and Liberal Arts and Sciences have
a combined program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree if the student
takes certain prescribed courses and this degree is available to students who do
not wish to earn a degree before entering the College of Medicine.
I concur.
On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this recommendation was approved.
STUDENT FEES
(8) In considering the University's operating budget for 1957-59, the Governor
and the Illinois Budgetary Commission have anticipated revenue from tuition
in an amount which would require an increase in rate. An increase in the nonresident
fee was previously approved by the Board.
The original budget request of the University was based on an estimated
increase in income of $1,873,250. This amount will come chiefly from the increased
charge to out-of'State students and the increased number of in-state
students. The present recommendation to increase tuition will add approximately
$800,000 to this figure, for a total increase of about $2,600,000. The total University
income in the state budget will therefore be approximately $12,000,000.
At this point it should also be noted that the program for the construction
of buildings to be financed through revenue from student fees will require an
increase in charges to students of $40 a year, beginning in the fall of 1959. The
total increase in charges to students now programmed is therefore $60 a year.
The University Budget Committee and the Committee on Fees and Scholarships
recommend that effective in September, 1957, the resident tuition for fulltime
schedules be increased $10 each semester at Urbana-Champaign and the
Chicago Undergraduate Division; $6 each quarter at the Chicago Professional
Colleges; and that the resident tuition fee charged for partial schedules be
increased in proportion.
I concur in this recommendation.
The Committee on Fees and Scholarships has prepared a complete schedule
of all fees reflecting the changes in the fee structure authorized by the Board
in recent years and the increases now being recommended, together with some
minor adjustments for the sake of consistency and uniformity. I recommend
adoption of the following schedule.
On motion of Mr. Bissell, these recommendations were approved.
