CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE FEES INCREASED

President Darden reported on his correspondence with the Governor regarding
fees and revenue estimates at the Clinch Valley College, and presented the
following memorandum from the Provost

Office of the Provost
The Rotunda
MEMORANDUM
TO President Colgate W. Darden, Jr.
FROM J. L. Vaughan

I think we should ask the Board for permission to go ahead with some
slight increases in fees at Clinch Valley College to make increases in
faculty salaries to bring them in line with proposed increases at Mary
Washington, Longwood, etc.

Mr. Smiddy, Mr. Shea, and I have reviewed the situation and think
that, by increasing the charge per semester-hour from $8.50 to $9.50 for
college and education courses, and from $12.00 to $12.50 for engineering
courses, and including $10 for library fees and $10 for activity fees,
we feel we can make the necessary increases and promotions which will
amount to $7,300. In my judgment, we must make the increases if we are
to retain our present staff and attract new people to this rather remote
area.


75

As calculated by Mr. Shea, the financial situation at Clinch Valley
looks like this

         
1958-59  1959-60 
Projected Income  $ 81,000  $ 88,000
