Background on Waiver • Non-Resident Waiver Summary: In July 2005, the University of Washington Regents approved a tuition reduction for nonresident graduate and professional students. The reduction provided an annual waiver of the differential tuition between resident and nonresident tuition for nonresident graduate and professional students who have lived in the state for one year, but who do not qualify for state residency
Non-Resident Waiver Breakdown
GPSS Position • GPSS believes that the non-resident tuition waiver is an important tool for attracting quality students and ensuring that UW graduate and professional education remain competitive in the global economy • GPSS seeks a compromise solution to ensure that revenues for the waiver program remain committed to student financial aid
GPSS/ Graduate School Proposal • Create Graduate and Professional Fellowships • Proposal: For $4500 a year ($500 a month) in a fellowship/stipend, schools and colleges can create an option that triggers a waiver of out- of-state tuition. E.g., if College X awarded Non Resident Student Y a $4500 fellowship, Student Y would not have to pay out of state tuition
GPSS/ Graduate School Proposal The proposed fellowship program would include: • Deans would receive money used for tuition waivers to fund fellowship programs on a local level • Streamlined eligibility requirements o Reduces the number of students who are eligible for and who would receive this award • Student recipients would receive: o $4500 a year ($500/ month) o Tuition waiver (the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition)
What we’ve done • GPSS organized students — primarily from medicine and law — to attend the UW Regents meeting in October • Compiled T estimonies from waiver recipients (over 50 and counting) • Worked with Dean Baldasty to negotiate a compromise solution aimed at providing a more targeted fellowship program
Non-Resident Tuition Waiver: Next Steps • Continue to M obilize Student Groups: o M obilize stakeholders in law, medicine o Petition How you can help: • Attend the Board of Regents M eeting on November 18 o (142 Gerberding, Time TBA) • Attend the meeting (TBA) with Interim President Phyllis Wise, Dean T esty, etc.

University of Washington: Budget Update GPSS Report March 2, 2011 6
Budget Update Context • Facing $4.6 Billion deficit over the next 2 years • March 17 th – revised budget shortfall will be announced, expected to be larger than $4.6B • Legislature has asked university presidents for different cut scenarios. – UW was asked to model out cuts in the following scenarios: • Governor’s proposed cut of $189 million • $215 million cut • $250 million cut 7
UW President’s Response Cuts to UW may include: • Consolidation of the Evans School under another college, severe cut to course offerings • Consolidation of the Information School under another college, severe cut to course offerings • Elimination of the Foreign Language Certification for teachers in the College of Education • Elimination of the Institute for Public Health Genetics in the School of Public Health 8
UW Proposed Cuts Cont’d • Further reduction in course offerings and frequency • Decrease in over 8,000 journal subscriptions, and 10,000 fewer book purchases annually • Severe reduction and elimination of health and safety programs including mental health services and the night ride program • Job loss, Increased time to degree completion, Decreased number of degrees produced 9
President’s Rationale and Criteria Rationale: This is a long process. If the administration does not call out specific programmatic cuts, the legislature might cut deeper. Criteria Considered: • High Quality • Affordable • Central to the M ission 10
Timeline “NO DECIS IONS HAVE BEEN MADE” • We are in the evaluation process right now, and that will not be complete until the end of March. 11
Next Step — External • Legislators need to hear from you that higher education should not be de-funded. • Please contact your legislators today! Feel free to use the sample email text from the GPSS website: www.gpss.washington.edu/content/action- alerts 12
Next Step — Internal M eetings: • T own Hall — 3/ 8, 4-5 pm • GPSS Sponsored Stakeholder Meeting — 3/ 8 5 pm Targeted Advocacy: • Letters to President and Provost • GPSS Resolution? 13
