In January, the UNC-system Board of Governors approved a proposal asking system schools to develop collaborative five-year tuition plans. The BOG asked schools to have plans ready by the October board meeting.
But since then, administrators have made little planning progress.
UNC-CH administrators said in March that they planned to have a tuition planning committee in place by early April, although officials now say it will be in place before the end of the semester.
UNC-CH Provost Robert Shelton met with UNC-CH Student Body President Jen Daum Wednesday to discuss the committee's future.
"We've been waiting until she set up her administration and Cabinet before proceeding with plans to establish a tuition planning committee," Shelton said.
He said the committee will likely have 11 or 12 members drawn from the student body, faculty, administrators and UNC-CH Board of Trustees members. Shelton said the biggest difficulty will be finding representatives who can meet during the summer.
Shelton said he wants to make the body a permanent standing committee to deal with tuition issues on a month-by-month basis.
Daum said the organization of the planning committee likely will be similar to the tuition discussion panels organized early this year with some changes.
"Naturally we want as much student representation as possible," she said. "We're making modifications to make sure the committee is as fair as possible."
