Chandler Thompson, student body president, and Provost Warwick Arden co-chaired the committee’s September meetings that voted Sept. 26 unanimously in favor of a $330 increase for in-state undergraduates and a $660 increase for all other students — outof-state undergraduates as well as all graduate students. The UNC Board of Governors does not meet again until January, but if TRAC recommendations pass the Board of Governors and the North Carolina Legislature, they will come into affect during the fall 2012 and spring 2013 semesters. “I think it’s important to give students and parents as much notice as possible to plan for paying,” Thompson said.

Past recommendations, however, have not been followed closely. For example, the recommendation for the 2010-2011 year was a $150 increase for undergraduate residents. In reality, for those students, tuition was raised by $900, from $5629 to $6529. “One thing to keep in mind is that we’re nowhere near the end of the tuition discussion; it still has to go through our Board of Governors,”

Thompson said. “I’m hoping to have a student forum about it and more conversations with the chancellor and the provost.” The proposed increase is inside the 6.5 percent average cap, although the Board of Governors could approve one-time increases higher than that. However, even with only a $330 in-
