The
UNC Policy Manual
1000.1.3
Adopted
07/29/83
WHEREAS,
Chapter Seven, Section 701 of The Code
of The University of North Carolina provides that “The Board of Governors shall
set tuition and required fees at the constituent institutions, not inconsistent
with actions of the General Assembly, in such amount or amounts as it may deem
best;” and
WHEREAS, N.C.G.S. § 116-143 was amended by the 1981 General
Assembly to authorize the Board of Governors to establish especially reduced
tuition rates and to give tuition and fee waivers; and
WHEREAS, the 1981 General Assembly also revised N.C.G.S. §
116-143 by eliminating the special rate considerations established by the 1971
General Assembly for certain groups of nonresident students; and
WHEREAS, the 1981 General Assembly continued the requirement
in N.C.G.S. § 116-143 that all budgeted funds expended for scholarships of any
type, including the granting of tuition and fee waivers and especially reduced
rates, must be clearly identified in budget reports; and
WHEREAS,
the 1983 General Assembly revised N.C.G.S. § 116-144 to direct the Board of
Governors to fix the tuition and required fees charged nonresident students
comparable to the rates charged nonresident students by comparable public
institutions nationwide, except that a person who serves as a graduate teaching
assistant or graduate research assistant or in a similar instructional or
research assignment and is at the same time enrolled as a graduate student in
the same institution may, in the discretion of the Board of Governors, be
charged a lower rate fixed by the board, provided the rate is not lower than
the North Carolina resident rate; and,
WHEREAS, the 1983 General Assembly specifically provided
that the Board of Governors increase tuition so as to raise additional income
of at least $10,000,000 for each year in the biennium, thus requiring changes
in all tuition rates currently in effect.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Governors that, effective with the
fall term of 1983, the following groups of nonresident students are identified
as eligible for special tuition rates:
Group 1: Undergraduate
students deemed by the institution to have special talents and qualifications
and who are thereby awarded by the institution a scholarship or fellowship at a
rate of at least $250 per academic year.
The North Carolina School of the Arts may identify categories within
this group in accordance with established institutional practice.
Group 2: Graduate
students who are awarded by the institution a graduate teaching or research
assistantship and who are paid a stipend at a rate of at least $2,000 per
academic year.
AND
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board of Governors that:
1. Effective with the fall term of
1983, the special tuition rates for the specific groups of nonresident students
identified above are established, except as provided in Section 2 below, as
follows:

2. It is understood that,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this resolution, each institution
shall limit the granting of these special tuition rates as set forth by the
Board of Governors to conform with established budgetary limitations. The total tuition remission (defined as the
sum of the difference between the regular nonresident rate and the special rate
charged under the provisions of this resolution) shall not exceed the amount
budgeted for each group at each constituent institution. Separate budgets will be established to
record tuition remission for specially talented
undergraduate students (Group 1) and for graduate assistants (Group 2).
3. The President shall provide
appropriate administrative procedures and regulations for the constituent
institutions in accordance with the terms of this resolution.
