UNC to offer free tuition for some after admissions policy struck down
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Roughly a week after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down its race-conscious admissions policy in a landmark ruling, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill on Friday announced plans to “expand opportunity” to attend the university — including by offering free tuition to some students.
In a message to campus Friday, UNC Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said the university will provide free tuition to undergraduate students from North Carolina whose families make less than $80,000 per year, “beginning with the incoming class in 2024.”
