Regents OK fixed tuition rates
The Board of Regents
approved policy revisions for
the new guaranteed tuition
plan they voted to implement
in late April.
The guaranteed tuition
plan, which will take effect
this fall for new students, will
offer a fixed tuition for four
years, or 12 consecutive
semesters, rather than
increasing tuition each year.
However, regents will approve
fixed tuition rates each year
for new students.
“The intent of our new
tuition plan is two fold,” said
Chancellor Erroll Davis in a
press release. “We are making
it a great deal easier for stu
dents and their families to
plan with confidence for col
lege expenses. However, we
also have created a financial
incentive for students to
graduate on time.”
Under the plan, new stu
dents entering in the fall will
pay $1,946 per semester for
the next four years.
According to the new poli
cy, students who do not grad
uate on time will be charged
the guaranteed tuition rate
for new students entering the
college at the time the fixed
rate expires. Since the
regents have raised tuition
between five and 10 percent
each year for the past five
years, students graduating
late could encounter a 30 per
cent tuition hike after their
12th consecutive semester.
The policy outlined in
Tuesday and Wednesday’s
meeting stipulates that indi
vidual institutions must
develop their own systems
for handling any tuition

million to $407.3 million, said
Ryan Nesbit, senior associate
vice president for finance and
administration, a reduction
of almost 13 percent.
During that time, the
University could not fill facul
ty vacancies created by those
retiring or leaving.
Mace said there are cur
rently 67 faculty positions
vacant with no funding to fill.
The letter to vice presi
dents, deans and directors of
the University says the school
is expecting the cost of pro
viding health insurance to
faculty, staff and retirees to
jump an additional $6.5 mil
lion for the fiscal year starting
next month.
School officials also are
expecting to spend more
than $6 million more this year
than they did last year on
electricity and natural gas.
The significant increase in
the two areas has forced the
University to implement the
hiring plan it has, the letter
states.
“It’s a little premature to
determine what the impact
will be,” said Cheri Hoy, asso
ciate dean for faculty, admin
istration and finance for the
College of Education.
Her college has yet to send
paperwork requesting to
renew the previously failed
searches for three faculty
vacancies from a year ago and
those created in the last year,
Hoy said.
The College of Education
had no more than 16 success
ful searches for faculty last
year, she added.
The University will contin
ue this process of having all
actions with vacant positions
approved until next year’s
budget is finalized, Mace
said. That will not happen
until the middle of
September at the earliest,
when fall enrollment is
known.
Some University officials
were hoping for financial
relief in many areas, not just
faculty hiring, with a second
consecutive year of increased
state appropriations after the
lean budget from three years
ago.
Last year was particularly
good for the Georgia econo
my, and many state agencies,
the University included, were
set to receive an increase in
state funds.
“We were optimistic we
were coming out of this until
the significant increase in
energy cost,” Mace said.
Although University
administrators are stretching
the budget to accommodate
rising utility expenses, the
hiring of tenure-track faculty
is likely to continue.
“This is not a hiring
freeze,” Mace said of the
practice.
ing circumstances.
In addition, since some
degree programs are designed
to take five years, the individ
ual institutions will determine
which programs will qualify
for an extended guarantee
plan. The University will be
required to send a list of all
programs like these to
regents annually.
The regents have yet to
determine how the plan will
apply to students who trans
fer into and between
University System schools.

PET7EL: Frat recalls

that donations be sent to
the fraternity, since Petzel

“He put his heart and

Likewise, many fraternity

Petzel’s younger brother’s
football games and donate

On some nights, Golden
