A new proposed fee for undergraduates and the elimination of payout for unused sick leave to university employees highlight topics that will be addressed at today's UF Board of Trustees meeting.
The creation of a new "undergraduate enhancement fee" is up for consideration by the board, UF's highest governing body.
According to the board agenda, the fee would be intended to "enhance the educational opportunities afforded to undergraduates by enhancing course offerings, academic facilities and teaching staff."
Further details on the fee will be provided at the meeting of the Committee on Educational Policy and Strategy.
The Board of Governors, the state university system's highest governing body, would have to approve the proposal before it takes effect.
Under another proposal, employees leaving the university would no longer get paid for unused sick leave. Employees hired before April 1, 2010, with 10 years of service would still be eligible for payouts.
The proposal does not change sick-leave accrual.
