Tuition Task Force Proposal
by Brandon H. Herring
UNC Chapel Hill students are one step closer to paying more for a Carolina
education.
Members of the Task Force on Tuition met Tuesday to decide what they will
tell Carolina’s Board of Trustees on January 24th.
Task force members decided to propose a one-year tuition increase of $400
for all students starting in the Fall.
A plan to increase tuition during a five-year period was put off until
other UNC system schools could give input.
Student Body President Justin Young and Provost Robert Shelton were
the task force co-chairs.
Provost Shelton said the task force "came to a general consensus" on the
nature and level of the need for a tuition increase. "Now the only question
is how do we go about addressing it,” said Shelton. Shelton adds that
this "certainly is not a closed issue."
The proposal will go to the University System Board of Governors for a
final decision.
