1. Non-Resident Increases: The Effects on Graduate Students Dan Herman GPSF President January 14, 2004

2. Who Pays? Non-residents are a significant graduate student population – ~40% Non-Residents overall ~40% receive Tuition Remission “Moving Target”: not the same 40% semester to semester Not all are at 100% level

3. Who Pays? Non-residents are a significant population –~70% Non-Residents among first-year students! Decreasing state funds have reduced departments’ abilities to ensure funding over “educational lifetime” May have significant effects on the recruitment of top graduate students

4. Effects? Graduate Students are a vital cog for the University –Effects are far-reaching 3 Main Contributions –Research –Faculty Recruitment/Retention –Undergrad Education

5. Research Graduate Students conduct top research –Groundwork –Develop Research Proposals & Techniques –Essential to bringing in Research $$$

6. Faculty Faculty retention/recruitment is a major campus issue –Faculty depend heavily on the quality of the students in their labs Publications Novel Research –Effect on Research $$$ & Undergraduate Education

7. Undergraduate Education Graduate Students teach a significant portion of class and lab hours –~50% of all undergraduate instructional hours –Quality of undergraduate instruction is dependent on the quality of graduate students

8. Grad Effects - Summary Decreased ability to recruit top graduate students –Ability to conduct research will suffer Capacity of “workforce” Faculty Retention and Recruitment –Undergraduate instruction will suffer

9. Professional Schools School based proposals based on Tuition Task Force Recommendation –How will this effect each schools’ model? –Possibility of being exempted from campus- based increase What about schools without a proposal? An increase would be paid, but the revenue would not specifically return to the school

10. Other Considerations Process –Timing is short - ~2 months opposed to ~3 years for the Tuition Task Force –Much activity occurred over Winter Break Difficult to get student input Legislature & Board of Governors “Moving Target” of 75 th Percentile –UC System in line for large increases
