UNCW facing $4 million budget reduction for admitting too many out-of-state admissions

[FOXWILMINGTON] The University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) is grappling with a substantial budget cut of over $4 million for surpassing the University of North Carolina System's out-of-state enrollment limit for the second consecutive year. The Board of Governors meeting on Thursday, Nov. 16, listed the sanction on its consent agenda. Fall 2023 enrollment data reveals that UNCW has exceeded the cap set at 18 percent for out-of-state enrollment, established in 2022. Consequently, the university's budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year will be reduced by $4,102,644, as per Board of Governors Policy 700.1.3. The funds are recommended to be reallocated to the North Carolina Need-Based Scholarship for Public Colleges and Universities, benefiting UNC System students. UNCW Chancellor Aswani K. Volety acknowledged the challenge in predicting out-of-state enrollment and emphasized the institution's commitment to serving the citizens of North Carolina, with 86-88% of its student body typically hailing from the state.
