re: Decisions of the Board of Governors: Operating and Capital Budgets, Tuition and Fees
Dear Dr. Davenport:
I am writing to confirm the action of the Board of Governors, at a meeting held on April 22, 1999, with respect to the Operating and Capital Budgets, tuition and fees.
The Board was informed of Senate's recommendation that the tuition fees of incoming undergraduate Medical students be set at $10,000 for 1999-2000, 2000-01, and 2001-02. This was acknowledged in a series of four motions proposed at the Board meeting, which appear on the attached page. The third motion was not voted upon because a procedural motion to refer the question back to Senate was passed. The effects of the Board's resolutions are:
(a) The reinvestment in Medicine for 1999-2000 will be determined by the Provost in consultation with the incoming Dean of Medicine & Dentistry
(b) Tuition fees for incoming undergraduate Medical students in 1999-2000 will be $10,000.
(c) The issue of undergraduate Medical fees for incoming Medical students in 2000-01 and 2001-02 has been "referred back to Senate with a request that SCUP consult with the incoming Dean of Medicine & Dentistry and consider explicitly the implications of the foregone revenue for the academic and student-support programs in the Faculty."
With respect to referral of the question of Medical fees for 2000-01 and 2001-02, the Board did not set a time by which SCUP and Senate might respond, but is aware that consultations with the new Dean of Medicine & Dentistry, Dr. Carol Herbert, cannot occur until she begins her term at Western in September.
Sincerely,
(signed)
