TUITION INCREASE AND NEW FACULTY SALARY SCALE

Now that the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council had made its report on tuition charges
in Virginia publicly supported colleges and universities, the President reported that he had
recently conferred again with the Governor on a proposed tuition increase to be used to finance
a new faculty salary plan. The President recommended that the tuition be increased $50 per year
for Virginia students and $100 per year for out-of-state students except for students in the
Graduate School of Business Administration and out-of-state students in the School of Law whose
tuition charges were increased identical amounts last year. In presenting this recommendation,
the President made it clear that the increased tuition, which would amount to approximately
$300,000, was to be used for financing the increase in faculty salaries.

The Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that, effective September 1959, the tuition charges for Virginia students be increased $50 per
year and the tuition for out-of-state students be increased $100 per year, except for students
in the Graduate School of Business Administration and out-of-state students in the School of Law,
and, be it further resolved, that the President be and he is hereby authorized to prepare and
submit for the approval of the Governor a new faculty salary plan to become effective in September
1959
