Board requests 7.61
percent operating budget increase
The University of Illinois is
requesting an additional $87.8 million in tuition and state funds
for fiscal year 2006 to pay for academic initiatives and increases
in salaries, many of which are no longer competitive after three
years of budget cuts.
With the new funds, the fiscal year
2006 operating budget would be 7.61 percent larger than the current
budget. The university’s Board of Trustees approved the operating
budget request, along with a capital budget request, last Thursday
at UIS. The requests are being sent to the Illinois Board of Higher
Education for review.

UIS Polish Club studies
abroad

Peter Boltuc, Associate Professor of
Philosophy, Anna Bojda, President of the Polish Club, and Jonathan
Goldbergbelle, Director of International Affairs, coordinated the
trip.
