DORMITORY ROOM RENTALS INCREASED
President Darden presented the following letter from the Comptroller:
Charlottesville
2 October 1957
With the last wage increase, the maintenance costs of our
dormitories will be greater than the revenue. I believe that we should
raise our charges $25 per student for all accomodations. This would make
the charge in the new dormitories $200 instead of the present $175.
Many of our students are well able to pay this and those who would
find it a hardship can be helped through University scholarship funds.
I am enclosing a schedule of room charges of thirty institutions,
including the University of Virginia. Of these thirty, only two charge
less than we do.
President
University of Virginia
After discussion, and on motion of Mr. Gray, duly seconded, the Board adopted
the following resolution:
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia that all
dormitory rental charges now in effect be and they are hereby increased by the sum
of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per session, effective as of the opening of the
1958-59 session.
