Moeser expects the BOT to vote on a tuition proposal -- no details of which have yet been determined -- in January.
During his Sept. 5 State of the University address, Moeser announced his intention to propose a five-year plan for campus-initiated tuition increases to the BOT at its November meeting.
At the BOT's September meeting, Moeser informally proposed the five-year plan. But Moeser said Monday that he decided to delay a specific proposal because he wanted to solicit input from different segments of campus.
Instead BOT members will hear a presentation from the provost's office Thursday detailing how UNC's tuition compares with its peer institutions'.
Moeser did not cite which colleges the study would consider UNC's peers, but in the past he has referred to the universities of Virginia, Michigan, California-Los Angeles and California-Berkeley as UNC's peers. All four institutions have higher undergraduate tuition than UNC.
Moeser said he expects that a committee will be created at Thursday's meeting to help craft the proposal that will go to the board in January. The committee will work to identify pressing financial needs and determine where additional tuition money is needed.
Moeser said students will be included on the committee but could not provide any details about how many students would be included or whether the committee meetings might interfere with final exams or the semester break.
Student leaders have been urging administrators to make sure students' voices are considered when the proposal is written. "From what I understand, ... an increase would not be prepared until faculty, administrators and students have had a chance to discuss it," said Student Body Vice President Rudy Kleysteuber.
Student Body President Justin Young said he and Moeser will work to mobilize student input on the plan before the end of the semester. "We'll definitely be working to inform the student body," he said.
