Dear Bob,

After accessing your e-mail from last week and I sought information that
spoke specifically to your concerns over the impact of the Huggins
separation arrangement on tuition. It is my understanding specifics have yet
to be determined. Employment agreements between UC employees and the UC
Administration are not part of our domain, so my comments in this area are
speculative.

First, we believe a significant portion of this expense is part of an
existing contract and would not be considered an extraordinary expense. This
expense  would be part of budgeted funds. Further, we believe any
compensation in excess of budgeted amounts would not have meaningful impact
on tuition costs.

Your second area of concern affords a more concrete opportunity for
clarification. The quality of the education you and I received during the
mid to late 60's has never been questioned by the UC Administration. The
message from UC, though largely misinterpreted, is that in today's higher
education environment, for UC to remain viable and become a destination
point for the brightest and best students, we must aspire to improve on the
education we offered students in the past. I hope you will consider the
significant difference between aspiring to be better and the
misinterpretation of that goal as a condemnation of the past. Your degree
and mine has served us well. UC wants to make that value as great as it can
be.


Sincerely,
David Macejko, Alumni Office,Exec Dir Alumni Affairs

Silly to increase tuition when we're paying a coach $3M to go away. What
other nonsense are we paying for which keeps tuition increasing at an
extraordinary rate? I paid $750 per year to receive what the current
administration feels is a mediocre degree in Bus. Ad. in 1965. I'm
embarassed by our administration. Find another institution to ruin. Please.
