SYS 805 University Comments and Concerns

UW-Superior requested that language be added to Section B.II to avoid confusion regarding waivers able to be granted under Wis. Stat. § 36.27(4) and Wis. Stat. § 36.27(3).
- No changes were made to the draft policy. Section 6.II currently addresses specific remission programs detailed in Wis. Stat. § 36.27(3)(a) in the subsection “Merit” and Wis. Stat. § 36.27(3)(b) in the subsection “Deserving of Relief.” Expansion on the general authority in Wis. Stat. § 36.37(3)(a) will be considered in the next stage of the tuition policy work.
UW-Green Bay requested that the language regarding the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) as campuses were not required to leave MSEP and therefore MSEP may still be applicable.
- The current policy language regarding MSEP was re-integrated into the draft policy, in addition to the draft language regarding the Midwest Tuition Rate.
UW-Madison recommended that Section 6.A.VII be revised to only require Chancellor approval for Service-Based Pricing, rather than requiring UW System President approval.
- No changes were made to the draft policy. Our plan is to complete the revisions to our tuition policies in stages. Service-based pricing was not addressed in this first stage of policy work, but may be addressed at a different stage.
UW-Madison inquired whether any students had engaged in the feedback process for this policy.
- All three policy drafts were shared with a variety of stakeholders, including student governance representatives. There were no student comments on SYS 805, Tuition and Fee Policies for Credit Instruction. There was one student comment on the proposed rescission of SYS 815, Student Technology Fees.
