This committee was created by President Paul O'Connor, S. J., in November, 1968. It was apparently an ad hoc committee which was never listed among the standing committees of the University and which seems to have gone out of existence at the end of the 1968-69 academic year. Its chair was Victor B. Nieporte, S. J. Fr. O'Connor spelled out the charge of this committee in the following way: "I would like the above named to form a committee to study the question of a possible tuition increase for September, 1969.... The study is to be made as part of our Long Range Plan Study which is now underway. Consequently, your study might also include recommendations for tuition increases during the next five years." (Memo of President O'Connor dated November 15, 1968)
