Assumptions for Revenue Measures 1. Tuition Increase Adjustments to the student expected family contribution (EFC) will be implemented as a means based tuition policy. Increase in the undergraduate credit cost to $120 with UPR subsidy up to 100% for students with financial disadvantage as reported in the Application for Federal Student Aid. Increase in tuition costs for graduate, professional and international students (specific credit costs under evaluation). 2. Special Tuition Exemptions Evaluate the special tuition exemption policy.
UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO
3. Executive Order 2017-021 Develop Government and UPR Agreements and Contracts through the UPR Interagency Project. On February 15, 2017, the Governor of Puerto Rico, Hon. Ricardo Roselló Nevarez established a government public policy to create interagency agreements with the University of Puerto Rico. The Executive Order mandates governmental agencies to grant priority to the University of Puerto Rico when a training and development program is contracted for employees in the public sector. 4. Puerto Rico Science and Technology Patents Develop scientific research projects by the Río Piedras, Mayagüez and Medical Sciences Campuses to obtain patent rights granted by the Federal Government and increase royalty revenues.

UPR Retirement Plan The Governing Board of the University establishes contribution rates to the Retirement System based on an actuarially predetermined rate recommended by an independent actuary at the beginning of the fiscal year. The actuarially predetermined rate is the estimated amount to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded liability. The University is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially predetermined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
