2A Friday, April 26. 1996 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Council suggests tuition changes Two modifications delivered to Regents By Colleen McCain Kansan staff writer Members of the 1995-96 University Council yesterday made one last attempt to change the newly implemented linear tuition system. In its final meeting of the year, the council voted to forward to the Board of Regents and KU administrators two proposed changes to the linear tuition system. The Regents voted last year to change the University's flat-rate tuition system to a system that would assess tuition by the credit hour. Although the Council has protested the implementation of linear tuition students will pay linear tuition beginning this summer. The Council now is recommending that linear tuition be modified two ways in the future. The Council recommended a cap at the 16th credit hour for undergraduate students and at the ninth credit for graduate students. So, a student who enrolls in 17 or more credit hours would pay the same tuition as a student enrolled in 16 hours. The Council also recommended that a no-refund policy be implemented for classes dropped between the 16th and 13th credit hours for undergraduates and between the ninth and seventh hours for graduate students. Jason Angilan, chairman of the Council's linear tuition subcommittee, said the recommendations addressed both the students' and the Regents' concerns. By implementing a cap, students who enroll in more than 16 hours will not be penalized financially for taking heavy class loads. And the no-refund policy addresses the Regents' concern that students enroll in several classes, "shop around" and then drop the classes they don't like. Students now will pay a price for class shopping, Anglian said. The Council plans to send these recommendations to Regents and administrators before the end of the semester.
