(8) The Director of the University Office of School and College Relations, at the request and with the concurrence of the campus offices of admissions and records, has proposed changes in the University of Illinois Regulations Governing the Determination of Residency Status for Admission and Assessment of Student Tuition. The proposed amendments, which follow, are designed to respond to several problems encountered with the current regulations: 1. The current regulations contain numerous references to "he" and "his." The proposed amendments would substitute gender-neutral language. (See introductory paragraph, and Regulations 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, and 13.) 2. The current regulations do not protect against changes in residency status made solely for the purpose of gaining advantage in admission to programs such as medicine and veterinary medicine. The proposed amendment would separate the time period required to establish residency for purposes of admission from that required to establish residency for purposes of tuition. (See Regulation 2.) 3. The current regulations do not define requirements for establishing residency on the part of the spouse. The proposed amendment establishes such a definition. (See Regulation 6.) 4. The current regulations do not provide adequately for consideration of residency status for refugees. The proposed amendment provides for the possibility of residency status for foreign students who hold "refugee-parolee" or "conditional entrant" status with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, and withdraws the possibility of residency status for foreign students on the basis of merely filing an application for permanent resident status. (See Regulation 7.) 5. The current regulations provide different lengths of time for a student to file for a review of residency status and to file for an appeal of rulings, and they do not distinguish between procedures for review and appeal for admission purposes and for tuition assessment purposes. The proposed amendments are designed to correct these shortcomings. (See Regulation 13.) The proposed amendments have been approved by the University Academic Council, the University Counsel, and the Vice Presidents. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . H o w a r d , these r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s were approved.
