<p>The new budget changes a few things:</p>

<p>"NO SPECIAL TALENT TUITION WAIVERS FOR STUDENT ATHLETES
SECTION 9.22.(a) G.S. 116-143(c) reads as rewritten:
"(c) Inasmuch as the giving of tuition and fee waivers, or especially reduced rates,
represent in effect a variety of scholarship awards, the said practice is hereby prohibited except when expressly authorized by statute or by the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina; and, furthermore, it is hereby directed and required that all budgeted funds expended for scholarships of any type must be clearly identified in budget reports. The Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina shall not authorize a reduced rate of tuition for the special talent of athletics."
SECTION 9.22.(b) No policy adopted by the Board of Governors to authorize a
special tuition rate for students who have athletics as a special talent shall be implemented."</p>

<p>So no more special tuition rates for UNC athletes. Will this affect the talent of UNC athletes?</p>

<p>This seems like creative accounting to me. No special tuition rate, but replace that with full (or partial) scholarships. Besides, the Board of Governors can always authorize it for individual cases.</p>

<p>I’m kind of too lazy to look it up again, but I’m pretty sure the Board of Governors cannot authorize it even for individual cases… I think I may be mixing the full and partial scholarship thing with the Ivy League rules so I’m not going to make any comments about that</p>
