Board postpones ruling on residency requirements
j Protests prompt board to reconsider
tighter rules for out-of-state students
By Sarah Clark
Emerald Reporter _
The statu Board of Higher Education delayed action
Friday on a proposal to tighten residency requirements
for out-of-stalo students.
OSBHE President Bob Bailey appointed u throe-mem
ber subcommittee to work with the Chancellor s Office
to review the proposal, especially its effective date I he
subcommittee will report to the board at its next meet
ing on Nov. 20 at the University. The board Is expected
to make a decision then. Bailoy said.
Student testimony that protested the proposed rules
made board members uncomfortable with the proposal
as il now reads, Dailey said
The testimony, recorded at a University hearing Oct
20, emphasized that the proposal would make the res
idency law retroactive, which was unfair to first-year
students who had come to the University under the im
pression thut they could get residency in a year
The subcommittee will consider changing the propos
al’s effective date from July l‘»‘t:t to after September
1993, so this yeur's students would not he affected, Bai
ley said.
The committee will also review other stipulations in
the proposal, such as achieving residency by owning
property. Dailey said. However, he said the proposal's
effective date is "90 percent of the concern "
"The board is committed to tightening the residency
rules.” Dailey said. "However, the board wants to be
fair to those students who entered this school year with
the understanding lhat limy might l«‘ able to ;it;hiov«r
resident status after one year "
The rules would deny residency t«> out-of-state stu
dents who are in Oregon "primarily for educational
purposes." according to the proposal Students enrolled
in more than seven credit hours per term will he pre
sumed to lie in the slate for those “purpose*," the pro
posal reads.
Bailey said stale politicians have put pressure on the
OSBHE to tighten the rules so that out-of-slate students
don't receive state services for free.
Tightening the rules would also increase tuition rev
enue. Bailey said Even if fewer out-of-stale students
come to Oregon as a result of the new rules, those who
do come will hi; paying the full lost for their education,
he said.

fog today and low clouds, but it

around 60-65. Tonight will be
