Increases
average 8.75%
By MITCH CANTOR
The University's Board of Regents
approved new tuition rates yesterday,
increasing the rates an average 8.75 per
cent for students on the Ann Arbor
campus.
Aside from the tuition fees, each term
students will be required to pay ad-
ditional charges, including $23 for
Health Service, $16 for registration, and
about another $4 to go to the Michigan
Union and student space remodelling.
THE TUITION changes set upper
division fees for Michigan residents at
$678 per term (a 9.4 per cent increase),
with in-state freshpersons and
sophomores charged $602 per term. (a
9.5 per cent jump). Out-of-state un-
dergraduate fees all jumped 7.1 per
cent. The new fees for underclassper-
sons and upperclasspersons are set at
$1,820 per term and $1,960 per term,
respectively.
Tuition charges now range from a
maximum of $2,950 per term for non-
resident medical students, to the $678
for in-state underclasspersons.
Along with tuition raises, the Board
finalized a $584.5 million budget for the
1979-80 fiscal year, including $555
million earmarked for the Ann Arbor
campus. The plan includes a $64,000
deficit and calls for a seven per cent
faculty and staff salary increase.
WHILE THE seven per cent figure is
the maximum allowed by President
Carter's wage-price guidelines, Vice-
President for Academic Affairs Harold
Shapiro indicated that it was the most
affordable figure possible.
"The most critical thing is not wage-
price guidelines, but the limit of our
fiscal capacity," Shapiro said.
Interim University President Allan
Smith complimented the University's
top administrators for their work in
trying to get the highest possible ap-
propriation from the state legislature
for the University.
"They did yeoman work in those 10
days," Smith said, referring to the
period during which legislators set final
