INCREASE IN STUDENT FEES

The Chancellor reported that an increase in student fees will be necessary in order (1) to
provide one-half of the cost of an increase in faculty salaries (the other half to be provided
by the Governor from a special appropriation) to reach the national average for comparable
institutions of higher learning, and (2) to finance the cost of eight new faculty positions and
one half-time faculty position. The proposal is to increase the College general fee by $35 00
and the tuition for out-of-state students by $75 00.

The current and proposed student fees are as follows.
