REGENTS APPROVE TUITION, FACULTY RAISES
Students to pay 15% more
By BILL SPINDLE
The University Regents unanimously
approved yesterday an average 15 per-
cent tuition hike and a $5 million plan to
raise faculty salaries.
No provisions were made, however,
to improve the salaries of non-faculty
University personnel.
THE TUITION increase will main-
tain the University's status as the most
expensive public University in the
nation. R
Tuition for resident freshpersons and
sophomores will jump to $988 in the
1982-83 school year, while non-resident
lower division students will pay $2,874
starting this fall.
Junior and senior students from G
Michigan will be charged $1,106, and
$3,090 if they are non-residents.
Tuition for in-state graduate students N
will be $1,458, and $3,130 for non-
residents, which is a 13 percent hike.
That increase, combined with the 16
percent undergraduate tuition hike,
resulted in the 15 percent average.
THE $5 MILLION approved for
faculty salaries was made available .
through a series of budget cuts last
spring in the first part of the ad-
ministration's five-year reallocation $
plan.
The money will be distributed
through the University's merit-based benefit
program of faculty pay raises. health

"WE HAVE to raise tuition 15 percent

Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor)
placed the blame for the tuition hike on
the state for not providing sufficient
funds to the University.
"This is a world class University,"
said Baker, "but it won't continue to be

"If the people of the state don't try to
influence the legislature, serious
damage will be done," said Baker.
