504 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February 8 Under the PHS rules, investigators are required to disclose to an official(s) designated by the Institution a listing of Significant Financial Interests. T h e institutional official(s) will review these disclosures in accordance with an administrative process to be established by each institution. Following this review, the institutional official(s) will determine the acceptability of the reported financial interests and act to protect PHS-funded research from any bias that is reasonably expected to arise from those interests. Revision of the Residency Status Regulations for Admission and Assessment of Student Tuition (4) T h e current University of Illinois residency status regulations for admission and assessment of student tuition allow out-of-state students to establish in-state residency with relative ease when compared to the policies at other Big Ten and research universities. T h e proposed regulations are designed to prevent students from establishing residency for the sole purpose of reducing tuition costs. T h e primary change in the residency regulations extends the domicile period from six months to one year. During this one-year period, a person must be financially independent, must rely on gainful employment in Illinois or prove reliance on resources in Illinois, and must reside in the State primarily for non-educational purposes. These regulations will be implemented for the fall term, 1997. T h e vice president for academic affairs, with the advice of the vice chancellors for academic affairs, recommends approval of the following revised residency status regulations for admission and assessment of student tuition. I concur. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved. (Mr. Malone and Mr. Rose asked to be recorded as casting advisory votes of " n o " on this item.) (Note: line-throughs = deleted text; underlines = added text) University of Illinois Residency Status Regulations for Admission and Assessment of Student Tuition General T h e University of Illinois is a land-grant institution assisted by funding from state of Illinois tax revenue. As a state tax-assisted institution, the Univesity (with some exceptions) extends preference in admission and tuition to residents of the state of Illinois — that is, to students persons whose circumstances conform to the University's definition of resident status stated below. Principal elements which determine residency are domicile in Illinois and actions which evidence the intent to make Illinois the person's permanent residence. A person has but one domicile at any time. Mere physical presence in Illinois, regardless of how prolonged, is insufficient to establish residency without existence of action and intention to make the place a permanent residence and principal home. In order to establish bona fide residency in Illinois under this policy, a person must demonstrate presence and intent to reside permanently in Illinois for reasons other than educational objectives. T h e burden of establishing that a student person is domiciled in Illinois for other than educational purposes is upon the 9tudcnt person. T h e regulations, factors, and procedures enumerated in this policy will be considered by the University in determining t h e residency status of students.
