Regents proposal to examine Whittier remodel
The University of Nebraska Board of Regents will meet June 14 at Varner Hall. Committee and task force meetings begin at 8 a.m. and the board meeting begins at 1 p.m.
In morning sessions, the Board of Regents will hear presentations on state funding, the operating budget, tuition recommendations and upcoming capital improvement projects.
The capital improvement update will include a proposal to renovate the 85-year-old Whittier building on City Campus. The project is designed to convert the Whittier building into a modern research laboratory with office space and a child care facility for use by UNL faculty, staff and students. The capital improvement update will also include information about the University of Nebraska Medical Center's College of Dentistry, located on UNL's East Campus.
In morning sessions, the board will be briefed on the proposed university operating budget and tuition increase. President James B. Milliken will recommend the approval of a 5 percent tuition increase for 2007-08, plus the 1 percent tuition assessment necessary to provide matching funds for NU building renovations authorized by LB605.
If the proposed increase is enacted, a resident undergraduate student would pay $9.50 more per credit hour at UNL.
