"Our purpose is not to discipline or abuse them [professors], but to make them feel ashamed about some of the things they say and do," Matthew Scully, associate edi- tor of Campus Report, A.I.A.'s monthly publication, told The Ram last week. He added that if professors think they are being monitored, "perhaps it will impose a little discipline on them." According to Scully, the organization does not approach students, but is open to student opinion. He denies that A.I.A. has "monitors" in the classroom. "It has been grotesquely exaggerated to the point where people think we're a nation- wide monitoring service, "Scully said. He ad- mitted that, "There are a lot of students who may contact us, so they may be considered monitors in a loose sense." However, Time magazine reported in the December 23, 1985 issue that, "A.I.A. claims to have more than 200 students moni- toring and reporting on classroom lectures on over 160 college campuses across the coun- try." Board Approves Budget

by Tom DiLenge The Board of Trustees approved an eight percent increase in tuition and a 10 percent rise in room and board rates for the 1986-87 academic year, according to Dr. Joseph Cammarosano, executive vice president. Fordham College and College of Busi- ness Administration students will be paying $510 more than last year for tuition, a total of $6,860. Resident fees will be increased to an average of $3,960 a year, a rise of $360, bringing the total cost for an undergraduate boarder at Rose Hill to almost $11,000. Students at the College at Lincoln Cen- ter and the School of General Studies will have to pay $189 per credit hour, an increase of $14. Tuition at the other University grad- uate schools will also rise by eight percent.
