FACULTY SALARIES AND TUITION INCREASES

President Darden referred to the urgent need for improving the inadequate faculty salaries,
and stated that he wished to prepare and attempt to get the Governor's approval of new scales
of increased salaries and moderately increased tuition fees to cover the added salary costs.
The increased fees, if approved by the Governor, would need to go into the new University
catalogues to be printed in December. Mr. Darden said, and he therefore desired authority to
proceed in this matter without the necessity of calling a Board meeting for approval of the
detailed schedules of fees and salaries.

The Board resolved that the President be authorized to proceed with the upward revision of
fees and salaries, subject to the Governor's approval and to put the new schedules into effect
in catalogues for the 1957-58 session, subject to ex post facto approval by the Board.
