Provost’s plan calls for tuition hikes over time Taya Owens Staff Writer A five-year tuition plan has been proposed that would close the nearly $2000 per full-time stu dent funding gap between UNCW and other UNC universities. In light of the state budget cri sis and decreased funding, UNCW has estimated a variance between the average funding here and elsewhere in the UNC sys tem. UNCW calculations show that the university is receiving less money than it should based on the number of students enrolled. Students see budget shortcom ings when they cannot print out documents in computer labs or are told that scheduled classes have been canceled. According to the interim provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs, Paul Hosier, these insufficiencies are keeping UNCW from meeting its goal of delivering high quality academic programs in a quality environ ment. Hosier presented a new varia tion of a tuition increase plan that would generate $15 million over the five-year span. To generate this money, student tuition will be raised $300 per student every year for five years. The tuition hike would affect both in-state and out-of-state students. According to Hosier’s presen tation, the faculty at UNCW is not properly supported. The advisers usually experience about Serving UNC Wilmington since 1948 NEW UNCW POLICE CHIEF TAKES OVER Sarah Broders Assistant News Editor UNCW has a new police chief who never expected to go so far here. He wants the police depart ment to be open to suggestions from the community. Captain David Donaldson was trained at a police academy in Bladen County where he grew up. He accepted an officer position on the UNCW police force in 1992. Donaldson planned on returning to his hometown after a year to be a “grass roots Bladen County police officer,” but he has remained on the UNCW force for 10 years. “There’s a huge opportunity in the college environment to have a good impact on the community,” Donaldson said. The resources provided by the university and the young people that he works with are two main reasons Donaldson chose to stay working in the college environ ment. “I believe in young people and their potential ... but we are a department that knows people make mistakes,” Donaldson said. UNCW’s biggest problem, Donaldson said, is property crimes. These are often cases where the crime could have been avoided if someone had closed a door or locked up a bike. “Our biggest priority is to get See police, Page 2 a 350-1 ratio, and financial aid staff has a ratio of about 1146-1. The course offerings are limited, and the library does not have as many volumes and journals as it should. Money for these areas can only be generated from the state legis lature or tuition increases. The faculty and staff draw their sup port from general funding (as opposed to specific funding). “Well, (looking to the state leg islature for funding) is just not going to happen,” Hosier said. However, the tuition plan is just that — a plan. Before it can go into effect, the UNCW office of the president must approve it. Then the UNC system Board of Governors must also approve it.
