Andrew Payne, UNC-system Association of Student Governments president and a nonvoting student member of the BOG, said he does not support further increases at UNC-sys tem schools that have already imple- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s iISIMIU BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION January 18 - January 25,2002 Remember, Celebrate, Act A week ofcooperatively planned events to commemorate the life and ideals of a truly inspirational leader.

The BOG will re-examine its tuition policy in the coming months and has asked all 16 UNC-system campuses to create nonbinding, five-year tuition plans, starting with the 2003-04 academic year. In the meantime, the board has decided to entertain proposals for one year tuition hikes. At least one other UNC-system school- UNC- Greensboro - also plans to ask the BOG to approve a tuition hike. UNC-G Chancellor Patricia Sullivan said she was hesitant about pursuing campus-initiat ed tuition increases at first, worrying diat it might exclude low-income students. But Sullivan said recent information on the success of financial aid programs at UNC-system schools has eased some of her concerns. “I’ve not been a person that was in favor of (the campus-initiated tuition) approach,” she said. “But now that we have it, we’ll take advantage of it.” The State & National Editor can be reached atstntdesk@unc.edu. / Laid Summer APPLES / |J|t ‘lnternships Earn course credit and get paid while you work this summer through the APPLES summer internship program.

The meeting will be a closed planning session for student government representatives to finalize their strategies in addressing the issue of tuition. Frances Ferris, external relations com mittee chairwoman, said she was happy with the progress of Wednesday’s meeting and looks forward to the final meeting as a way to pinpoint what should be done. “I feel there has been enough talking so now we need to move forward,” she said. Young said the meetings are impor tant because they allow students to voice opposition to the task force’s proposal while coming up with a constructive solution. “I am in opposition to the S4OO increase but not against helping out with the issue and to help solve the problems the University is facing because it is in the best interest of the students.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

BOT From Page 1 to preserve the future value of (a UNC CH) diploma,” she said. “We made what we thought would be the most fair deci sion for the entire University community.” At Tuesday’s task force meeting, members of the committee suggested the possibility that the BOT might reduce the proposal as it has done before. But Provost Robert Shelton, who is co chairman of the task force, said the 1999 tuition increase is not a fair precedent upon which to predict the BOT’s response. “I don’t think you should extrapolate from past years,” Shelton said. Burnett said that because the 1999 pro posal was a multiyear increase, it will be considered differendy than the one-year increase the board will evaluate next week. “I have no reason to expect that the BOT will cut the proposal this time,” he said. “1 think the reason it was reduced last time was that four- and five-year increases sounded like a lot when we didn’t know if there would be future systemwide increases.

Student Body President Justin Young, the task force’s other co-chairman, said the BOT might revise the proposal to make it more appealing to the BOG. “One different perspective the BOT has is the willingness of the BOG to accept a proposal,” Young said. “They might want to look at the reasons why the BOG reduced it the last time.” Burnett also said the BOT might revise the recommendation because of the effect a tuition increase could have on other UNC-system schools. “We are aware that there our other campuses in the system looking at increasing tuition that will be impacted by what happens in Chapel Hill,” he said. “We are not on an island or operating in a vacuum.” But Burnett said he cannot predict how the board will act at the Jan. 24 meeting. “No one will really have any idea until next Thursday.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

This program would be much like the transit fee students pay, which Associate Vice Chancellor Carolyn Elfland said is about S4O per semester. The committee also discussed the option of increasing parking permit costs, ranging from about an 11 percent increase to about a 41 percent increase. But some committee members said the University should absorb some trans portation and parking costs. “I will never vote for a parking plan that will fund 100 percent of parking,” Turchi said. “The University needs to start thinking very seriously about generating these funds.” The proposal developed by Turchi’s group will be discussed at the next TPAC meeting, scheduled forjan. 23. The com mittee also will set a concrete date - ten tatively Feb. 5 - for open forums to dis cuss changes in parking policies. The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. QATAR From Page 1 should stand by its guidelines. “The value of a Chapel Hill degree exists because of the kind of principles we have and the way we do higher edu cation here,” he said. “If they want that degree ... they have to work with us on those points.” If a deal between Qatar and UNC does indeed fall through, Shelton said, the only cost will be the loss of the over seas program, because Qatar gave UNC a stipend to cover administrative and negotiation costs. “I all along have personally felt this would be a good thing to do,” Shelton said. “I would be disappointed because I feel it’s a unique opportunity in that part of the world. But if they pull out, we will have to wish them well and move on with life.” While discussions are still taking place, Young said the possibility of Qatar’s business school venture with UT and the competition it could create only further confirms some people’s doubts about the negotiating process. “It bothers me a little bit because it kind of puts Chapel Hill on the auction block a little more so than before.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
