UF President Bernie Machen's bonuses, totaling $285,000, will be up for discussion at UF's Board of Trustees meeting Monday.

The board, UF's highest governing body, will decide if Machen will receive the bonuses this year.

Last year, the board approved his bonuses by a vote of 12-1, with Trustee Al Warrington voting against the extra pay.

Machen earned $731,811 in the 2007-2008 fiscal year, including bonuses, retirement pay and a car allowance, according to a November report from the Chronicle of Higher Education.

The board will base its vote on whether Machen has achieved certain one-year and three-year goals agreed to in advance by the board and Machen.

The board will also review a request to increase the Activity & Service fee and Student Health Fee by a combined $1.77 per credit hour. No estimates were available for the increase in the transportation Access Fee.

The increase would bring in an estimated $1,417,000 in 2009-2010, according to board documents.

A proposed rent increase of $10 per month for dorms will also go up for a vote.

The increase, which would generate about $294,240 in the spring term, seeks to cover a record growth in UF's utilities expenses, according to board documents.
