Bartlett said the university cannot set next year's student budget until the Legislature has set tuition costs, but they do estimate a 6 percent in- crease in room and board, transporta- tion and miscellaneous expenses. Bartlett added $300 to present tuition, allowing for failure of the tuition phase-in, and the six percent increases to come up with an estimate of $5,758. The new percentage makes the executive's pay 110 percent of that estimate, or about $6,934, Bartlett said. Coan and Van den Dyssel both spoke against the bill during debate but said they would favor a one-year freeze on the salaries. "I don't think haggling over this amount of money is pertinent. It's such a small percentage of the whole budget," Coan said. Coan also pointed out that the executives cannot get a summer job to earn money. Van den Dyssel said the executives do make expensive sacrifices to fulfill their roles, and most cannot carry 15 credits. "You have to pay full-time tuition, but you do not make full-time progress towards a degree. This is more of a symbolic cut. I don't think Daily EvergreenIMike Anderson it is warranted or necessary.
