Senate bill would give in-state tuition to more students
By CHRISTOPHER HINES
Staff writer
TOPEKA — The Kansas Senate gave tentative approval yesterday to a bill that would lower the tuition rate for some state university students.
Under the bill, Kansas high school students whose parents move out of state would have 12 months to enroll in a state university, community college or technical institute and pay
the resident tuition rate instead of the higher non-resident rate.
This year's undergraduate resident tuition and fees for those enrolled in six hours or more at the University of Kansas was $645, compared with $1,600 for non-residents. This information is provided to give the
The Senate is expected to give the bill final approval today.
The bill also would allow employees and their families who transfer to Kansas from out of state to be eligible immediately for the resident tuition rate. Under current law, people who attend a state institute of higher education must live and pay taxes in Kansas for one year before being eligible for resident tuition.
opened up too many loopholes that could deprive the state of muchneeded revenue.
Some lawmakers said the bill opened up a number of opportunities for education and economic development in Kansas, but others said it
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, the bill made common sense and would make admissions to universities fairer and more flexible.
"If someone has spent all their school years in Kansas, and then their parents move, it's not fair that
they be deprived the education their parents have already paid for in state taxes." Winter said.
But State Sen. Nancy Parrish, D-Topeka, said the wording of the bill was so unclear that anybody could escape the out-of-state tuition rate.
"It's not fair that someone who gets transferred here for a promotion pays lower tuition," Parrish said. "And that someone with a part-time
job in Kansas, from out of state, is struggling and paying the higher tuition."
The bill would allow the Board of Regents to create more specific guidelines for universities and decide some questionable cases itself.
The bill has no retroactive clause allowing people already in Kansas who fall under the guidelines to pay the resident tuition rate.
