Regents approve faculty P&T list, student residence rates for 2001-02

by Anne Krapfl
New student housing rates, parking permit fees for fiscal year 2002 and Iowa State's faculty promotion and tenure list this spring were among the items approved by the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, during its April 18 meeting in Vinton. The regents:

Approved new residence department rates, which take effect as early as May 6. The typical double-occupancy room with 20 meals/week board plan is up 5.3 percent over current rates, to $4,666 per year. Hawthorn Court apartment rents will go up 5.4 percent for single-occupancy bedrooms. Family apartments in Schilletter and University villages will go up between 3.1 percent and 8.5 percent, depending on unit size and location.
Approved parking permit fees for the year that begins July 1. The new rates equal approximately a 4 percent increase when rounded to an even dollar amount and are as follows: $59 (general staff and department), $89 (vendor), $295 (reserved) and $590 (24-hour reserved). The new rates also follow a Transportation Advisory Council recommendation that the reserved rate is five times the general staff rate and the 24-hour reserved rate is 10 times the general staff rate.
Referred to the Interinstitutional Committee on Educational Coordination a proposal to merge three departments in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences (textiles and clothing; hotel, restaurant and institution management; and family and consumer sciences education and studies).
Set a public hearing date (7 p.m. Thursday, May 10, ISU Memorial Union Gold Room) on the Merit system pay plan for fiscal year 2002. Comments will be forwarded to the regents at their May 16-17 meeting, when they will be asked to approve the pay plan.
