TUITION MEETING

financial aid - 35 percent for need
based aid for all students and 5 percent
specifically for graduate students.
After a discussion of how Shelton
arrived at the numbers contained in the
three scenarios, task force members began
debating the merits of a one-year plan as
opposed to a more long-term schedule.
Trustee Rusty Carter, a member of
the task force, said he is in favor of a
long-term approach to ensure pre
dictability in tuition setting and to make
sure the increase is effective.
“A multiyear plan does a number of
things - it articulates you have a multi
year problem, for one,” he said.
But Trustee Tim Burnett said he
wants to see more discussion between
UNC-CH and other institutions before
passing a multiyear plan.

Q - Why did you take The Princeton Review MCAT course? l l ’ ll>sSl '' xm l I MCAT
A- Their location was really convenient to my college life. And all the students who knew
them and their competitors recommended The Princeton Review hands down. Average score improvement: 8 points.

“If you did a one-year plan and came
back, you would have time to consult
with other campuses and take leader
ship and take time to look at where the
money will go without time pressure,”
he said.
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.
Some student and faculty members of
TPAC already have collaborated to form
an informal subcommittee on their own to
talk about on-campus and night parking.
Student Body President Justin Young
said the subcommittee has allowed stu
dents and faculty to have productive dis

University and would also be consistent
with the tuition proposal that a similar
task force sent to the BOT in 1999.
“It is consistent with the thoughtful
approach that has been used in the past,”
said task force member Shirley Ort. “I
speak in favor of a S4OO increase.”
Carter, Johnson and student task
force member James Alstrum-Acevedo
were the only members to vote against
the S4OO proposal. Task force members
Rebekah Burford, Bill Maixner and Risa
Palm were not present for the vote.
But members said the proposal was
only the beginning of their work.
“I would make a case that the solu
tion is in next year’s plan,” Carter said.
“We need to keep in focus that this

we don’t know what that something else
is yet.”

Williamson said most of the previous
TPAC meetings have been informative,
but she would like to begin moving
toward their final recommendations. “I’m
ready to start talking about solutions.”

hensive discussions with officials across
the UNC system and state legislators on
the role tuition revenue must play in the
funding of the University.
Moeser said he expects the five-year
plan to be in place by the end of the
spring 2002 semester.
The decision to propose a one-year
plan was largely the result of a motion
passed by the BOG last Friday.
The motion calls for all 16 UNC-sys
tem schools to create five-year guide
lines for tuition and fees, starting with
the 2003-04 school year.
While the five-year plans are non
binding, they do call for UNC-system

- to collaborate on the plans.
Several BOG members did not
return phone calls Tuesday.
At Tuesday’s third and final task force
meeting, several members said it was
important for UNC-CH to take imme
diate action but also said the University
should collaborate with other UNC-sys
tem schools - especially N.C. State
University - before creating a more
long-term plan.
“My understanding is that if (the
BOG) gets a proposal, they want it to be
for one year,” said UNC-CH Provost
and task force Co-chairman Robert
Shelton.
Moeser said that while he was some
what surprised by the task force’s deci

increase plan, it was consistent with the
desires of the BOG.
“(The task force’s recommendation)
puts us right in line with the actions of
the BOG,” Moeser said.
The BOG is expected to consider
about a half-dozen campus-initiated
tuition increase requests and a 4.8 per
cent systemwide increase at its March
meeting.
Shelton said he hopes the task force -
or a similar committee - will soon begin
to move forward with creating a more
long-term plan.
“I think there are strong reasons to
have a multiyear plan - it’s a more hon
est plan,” he said.
