NORTH CAROLINA — The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill announced that it would be providing free tuition and fees to students from North Carolina families making less than $80,000 a year.
The announcement comes a week after the U.S. Supreme Court set new limits on affirmative action, a policy in which universities took into consideration a student's race or ethnicity during the admissions process. The policy was part of an effort to diversify college campuses.
UNC said the decision keeping universities from being able to consider race while making admissions decisions is a"fundamental change" in the law that governs the admissions process for UNC and thousands of other universities. "We want to make sure students know financial constraints should not stand in the way of their dreams," Guskiewicz said.
