Shelton said he had reviewed the names and would make a final decision by the end of the month.
He said that the makeup of the committee has not been finalized yet but that he anticipates that there will be two undergraduate representatives and one graduate representative.
The rest of the 12-member committee will be composed of faculty, administrators and members of the Board of Trustees, he said. "It's important that we get (BOT members) involved as early as possible," Shelton said. "There is no sense going down a road they're not going to support."
Shelton said members of the committee will study trends such as parental income and indebtedness at graduation in order to create a long-term plan.
Daum said that there was no formal application process but that she looked for students who had experience and had shown prior interest in tuition issues.
"We need to make thoughtful arguments for what we think our tuition dollars should look like," she said.
Daum said the input from this committee will be important because it will affect students for years to come. "It's going have impact for at least the next five years, but really it's going to be longer than that."
