Trustees OK raises, fees by Bobby Ham mond

by Linett e Freeman

Increase in bo1h student tuition and faculty salaries were highlights of the North Idaho College Board of Trustees met last Thursday. The board also tabled a vote on the proposed merger of the academic secre1arlal studies and vocational office occupations programs-See Page 2. The board set the price of tuition for the 1990-91school year at $317 per semesteraS2S increase over last semester. However, according to Dean of Students David Lindsey, tha1 figure docs not take into account the as yet unsettled student health insurance charges. Once these arc resolved, said Lindsey, the hike may be offset by reductions in insurance payment.s required of students. Political science instructor and ASNIC adviser Tony Stewart thanked the student government for its pan in negotiations with the admin istration over the fees. NIC tuition policy was overhauled as a result of legislation pushed by ASNIC 10 clarify the delinition of tuition and rces, and Stewart said the agreement reacl.cd met "both the leuer and the spirit of the new law." In their meeting last March, the trustees heard a proposal from Lindsey to raise tuition $32 per student per semester. Lindsey said at the 1ime there would be changes in the proposal before it was enacted. Dean of Academic Affairs Dennis Conners announced at the same meeting that an agreement had been reached on increases in salary for faculty and staff of NIC. A 4.8 percent cost of living increase was ~pproved along with a .71 percent increase to monies distributed among employees by equity and performance, according 10 Conners. In addition, a S percent pay hike was approved for professional staff. Among other items on the agenda, President Robert Bennett presented a proposal to u~grade the current position of Associate Dean of Academia Affairs to a new position of Dean of Institutional Plan-
