Summary

Public institutions of higher education; undergraduate out-of-state tuition charges. Requires the boards of visitors of every public institution of higher education in the Commonwealth to set tuition and fee charges at levels they deem to be appropriate for all nonresident student groups based on, but not limited to, competitive market rates, provided that the tuition and mandatory educational and general fee rates for nonresident undergraduate students are at least 100 percent of the average cost of their education. The determination of competitive market rates shall consider tuition and fees charged at comparable private and public institutions of higher education within the Commonwealth or in another state, totaling at least five, which are most similar to the public institution of higher education with respect to total undergraduate enrollment, undergraduate student body academic qualifications, and to which a significant number of students of the institution of higher education also applied. Additionally, at the time that undergraduate tuition is determined by each board of visitors, the board of visitors must include in its meeting records the tuition rates at comparable private institutions and any other factors used in establishing the undergraduate tuition and fees.
