I. N.C. Gen.
Stat. § 116-143(d) (G.S.) authorizes the Board of Governors, in its discretion,
to provide regulations that allow statutorily described faculty and staff
within the University of North Carolina to take a certain number of courses per
year tuition-free, as established in the statute, and to specify when fees may
be waived.
II. The Board of Governors supports its faculty and staff
being able to enroll in courses at its constituent institutions, provided such
enrollment does not interfere with normal employment obligations, and hereby
adopts this policy to:
A. Authorize application of the
tuition-waiver provision as provided by G.S. 116-143(d) at any constituent
institution of the University of North Carolina (UNC) System, to be used by
faculty and staff of any constituent institution of the UNC System, the North
Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, the University of North Carolina Health
Care System (UNC Health), and the UNC System Office;
B. Authorize and specify when fees may
be waived for faculty and staff who are eligible to take courses with tuition
waived; and
C. Authorize the president to adopt regulations
and guidelines as may be required or useful for uniform application throughout
the University of the tuition and fees waiver privilege, including specifying
the number of eligible courses consistent with the statute.
