|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning education.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Eastern Illinois University Law is amended | 5 | | by changing Section 10-92 as follows: | 6 | | (110 ILCS 665/10-92) | 7 | | (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2022) | 8 | | Sec. 10-92. Tuition affordability discount program. | 9 | | (a) The General Assembly makes all of the following | 10 | | findings: | 11 | | (1) Both access and affordability are important points | 12 | | in the Illinois Public Agenda for College and Career | 13 | | Success. | 14 | | (2) This State is in the top quartile with respect to | 15 | | the percentage of family income needed to pay for college. | 16 | | (3) Research suggests that as loan amounts increase, | 17 | | versus grants-in-aid, the probability of college | 18 | | attendance decreases. | 19 | | (4) There is further research indicating socioeconomic | 20 | | status may affect the willingness of students to use loans | 21 | | to attend college. | 22 | | (5) Strategic use of tuition discounting will decrease | 23 | | the amount of loans that students must use to pay for |

| 1 | | tuition. | 2 | | (6) A modest, individually tailored tuition discount | 3 | | can make the difference in choosing to attend college and | 4 | | would enhance college access for low (up to 150% of the | 5 | | federal poverty level) and middle income (151% to 300% of | 6 | | the federal poverty level) families. | 7 | | (7) Even if the federally calculated financial need for | 8 | | college attendance is met, the federally determined | 9 | | Expected Family Contribution can still be a daunting | 10 | | amount. | 11 | | (8) This State is the second largest exporter of | 12 | | students in the country. | 13 | | (9) Illinois students need to be kept in this State. | 14 | | State universities in other states have adopted pricing and | 15 | | incentives that make college expenses for residents of this | 16 | | State less than in this State. | 17 | | (10) A mechanism is needed to stop the outflow of | 18 | | Illinois students to institutions in other states, | 19 | | assisting in State efforts to maintain and educate a highly | 20 | | trained workforce. | 21 | | (11) By being competitive on costs of attendance, this | 22 | | State can bring out-of-state students to this State. | 23 | | (12) The program established under this Section will | 24 | | allow Eastern Illinois University to compete for highly | 25 | | qualified students who may reside in other states by | 26 | | mitigating the effect of cost differences. |

| 1 | | (13) Modest tuition discounts, individually targeted | 2 | | and tailored, result in enhanced revenue for university | 3 | | programs. | 4 | | (14) By increasing Eastern Illinois University's | 5 | | capacity to strategically use tuition discounting, the | 6 | | University will be capable of creating enhanced tuition | 7 | | revenue by increasing enrollment yields. | 8 | | (15) The Board of Higher Education's current | 9 | | institutional tuition waiver limitation is 3% of total | 10 | | available undergraduate tuition revenue. | 11 | | (b) The Board shall establish a program to increase the | 12 | | Board of Higher Education's institutional tuition waiver | 13 | | limitation for the university over a 4-year period to increase | 14 | | access to college and make college more affordable for | 15 | | undergraduate students. Under the program, the institutional | 16 | | tuition waiver limitation shall be increased by 2 percentage | 17 | | points in the 2012-2013 academic year, 2 percentage points in | 18 | | the 2013-2014 academic year, 2 percentage points in the | 19 | | 2014-2015 academic year, and one percentage point in the | 20 | | 2015-2016 academic year, resulting in an institutional tuition | 21 | | waiver limitation of 10% in the fourth year of the program and | 22 | | thereafter. | 23 | | (c) The program shall require that students who receive a | 24 | | tuition discount under the program be accepted to the | 25 | | university through normal admissions standards and processes. | 26 | | Individual tuition discounts granted under the program must not |

| 1 | | exceed $2,500 per academic year. The program shall provide a | 2 | | maximum of one discount per academic year for a maximum of 4 | 3 | | years to each student in the program who maintains satisfactory | 4 | | academic progress. The program shall be terminated after the | 5 | | 2022-2023 2018-2019 academic year, with no new students | 6 | | receiving discounts. However, notwithstanding the Board of | 7 | | Higher Education's institutional tuition waiver limitation, | 8 | | existing students receiving discounts under the program are | 9 | | eligible to maintain those discounts, with satisfactory | 10 | | academic progress, under the 4-year limitation, after the | 11 | | 2022-2023 2018-2019 academic year due to maintenance of effort | 12 | | within their 4-year window. Sunset dates for discounted support | 13 | | shall be based upon the first academic year in which a student | 14 | | receives a discount. | 15 | | (d) Every 2 years, the Board shall report to the Board of | 16 | | Higher Education on the program's impact on tuition revenue, | 17 | | enrollment goals, and increasing access and affordability on | 18 | | such dates as the Board of Higher Education shall determine. | 19 | | (e) The Board of Higher Education may adopt any rules that | 20 | | are necessary to implement this Section. | 21 | | (f) This Section is repealed on July 1, 2026 2022 .
