North Carolina s five public historically Black universities will now be able to enroll a larger share of first-year students from out of state.
The UNC system Board of Governors voted Thursday to raise the cap on out-of-state students at its HBCUs to 25%. Since 1986, the UNC system has limited all its campuses to having no more than 18% of their incoming first-year classes from out-of-state, to reserve seats for North Carolinians.
UNC system President Peter Hans supported the change, which will mean more tuition revenue for those schools. We ve looked very closely at how to best address historic under-investment at these universities and one of the most effective and efficient steps we can take is to amend the cap on out-of-state students, Hans said.
Starting this fall, Winston-Salem State and N.C. A&T can bring more first-year students to campus from outside North Carolina.
The UNC Board of Governors approved Thursday a plan to raise the out-of-state admissions cap for the two Triad schools and the stateâs three other public historically black colleges and universities.
That cap has been set at 18% for more than three decades across most of the UNC System to ensure that most seats at the stateâs public universities are set aside for North Carolina residents. The boardâs vote Thursday raises the cap to 25% for new out-of-state freshmen at North Carolinaâs five public HBCUs.
