Board of Governors - APPENDIX II - April 27,2000
Recommended: That the University's Operating and Capital Budgets for 2000-01 and supporting tuition and Fee schedules be approved as shown on and Annex 2 (unavailable in electronic form).
The proposed operating budget and tuition fee levels acknowledge the Senate's advice that graduate student tuition for most graduate programs should be approximately 2%, as compared to the initial recommendation that they be set at 4.8%. [See the Senate Report to the Board, Appendix VII.] These figures are shown in Table 10a, lines 32-37, 40, 41, 43, and 46-50. The Property & Finance Committee did not, however, agree that the tuition increase for students in the graduate program in Orthodontics [Table 10a, line 44] should be reduced from 5% as originally proposed.
Supplemental Fees and Other Charges, shown on pages 4-5 of Annex 2, are approved by the President throughout the year, as authorized under the Student Fee Policy (Policy 2.4). These are reported to Property & Finance and the Board information each year at this time.
Recommended: That the 2000-01budgets for Ancillaries, Academic Support Units, Student Fee Funded Units and related Activity Fee rates, be approved as summarized in Annex 3. [Unavailable on the Web.]
Annex 3 reflects:
On January 24, 2000, the Property & Finance Committee approved the project, budget, and design of a 650+ seat classroom. The total project was approved at $3 million. Since that time, and due to feedback from professors who teach large classes, the interior design was changed to create a single-floor classroom without a balcony. Bids from 9 pre-qualified contractors were received on April 6, 2000.
At its meeting on April 17, the Property & Finance Committee awarded the construction contract for the Natural Sciences Centre 689 seat classroom addition to the Southside Group of Companies in the amount of $2,615,000. Based on the bids and the need to carry contingency funds, the Committee also increased the project budget by $285,000 to $3.285 million (see Annex 4). This adjustment results from the unanticipated escalation in construction costs and provision in the structure to add another floor above the classroom in the future at a cost of $117,000.
This project is funded from the SuperBuild Program. Completion of the project is scheduled for October 2000.
See Annex 5.
