The James Madison University board of visitors has proposed a 12 percent increase in the school's 1996-98 budget.
The $318 million spending plan, endorsed by the board Friday, is more than the amount the State Council on Higher Education in Virginia has recommended Gov. George Allen place in his two-year budget proposal. Board members said they plan to lobby the General Assembly to increase funding for the university.
The budget includes $9.9 million to fill about 102 new staff and faculty positions, said Linwood H. Rose, the school's executive vice president.
