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.
