Tuition, budget for
2012-13 academic year top trustees’ agenda
KALAMAZOO: Meeting on Wednesday, July 25, 2012, the Western
Michigan University Board of Trustees is expected to consider
tuition rates and adoption of a general fund budget for the
2012-13 academic year.
Meeting at 11 a.m. in Rooms 157-159 of the Bernhard Center, the
board will consider the administration's recommendation for
tuition and required fees for both on-campus courses and those
offered at regional locations and online through Extended
University Programs. The board is also expected to adopt a
general fund operating budget for the fiscal year that began
July 1.
During the meeting, board members also will consider approval of
a services and resources agreement between the University and
the Western Michigan University School of Medicine. The
agreement spells out how University may provide administrative,
operational and other services in support of the medical school
and how WMU will be compensated for those resources and
services.
The written
agreement describes how the medical school will reimburse the
University for the salary and benefits of employees who perform
such services. The medical school is a privately funded entity
being developed by WMU along with two Kalamazoo-area hospitals—Borgess
Health and Bronson Healthcare.
Other agenda items for the board meeting include the sale of
property at the Business Technology and Research Park and
adoption of a policy statement regarding the University's
investment of its operating cash.
A number of other items round out the board agenda, including
recommendations on academic program changes and property leases,
charter for the University's Internal Audit Department and a
charter revision for WMU's Internal Audit Committee. In
addition, the agenda includes reports covering gifts, grants and
personnel changes.
