The discussion then moved to the amount of the increase, and although no member argued for a specific amount, student task force member Eric Johnson and Student Body President Justin Young expressed worry that a large increase would convince applicants they could not afford UNC-CH. “What tears me apart inside is that 1 know we have to (raise tuition) ... but I’m haunted by the idea that one student in the state will be dissuaded because he won’t think he can afford it,” Johnson said. The task force ultimately voted 7-3 to recommend a S4OO increase, which members said would send a strong sig nal about the dire financial needs of the members break up into subcommittees, which she feels would be more effective.

Task force members Rebekah Burford, Bill Maixner and Risa Palm were not present for the vote.
