' By JOHN LECHLEITER At the faculty meeting of Friday, December 20, Fr. Robert Mui . ligan, Xavier University President, announced the 1975-76 university budget. THE INCREASES. The budget had been approved by the Board of Trustees at its meeting the day before. It included a tuition increase to $900 a semester, based on a flat rate for all fulltime undergraduate students taking betwee.n twelve and eighteen hours. For a student taking a fifteen-hour course load, the new tuition rate represents a $7 per hour increase. · Other rate hikes approved by the. Board included: • A $10 per hour increase in the present board rate. · • A $25 per semester increase for dormitory housing. •A $3 per credit hour tui~ion increase for the College of Continuing Education to $56 per credit hour. • A $3 per credit hour tuition iricrease for all graduate programs. : Father Mulligan, commenting on 'the budget, stated, "We feel that the new budget is a good one and that it.allows us to maintain the quali ty of education that has been a tradition-at Xavier. It is importaqt to realize that in an era· of steady enrollment decline and extreme in-. flationary pressures, the University must expect increased revenues . from many sources~ including tuition and fees as well as gift support .. ;. .from alumni'and friends." .. ··~ REASONS w·uv.
