Tuition Advisory Council

The Tuition Advisory Council (TAC) is Southern Oregon University’s official advisory group charged with reviewing and recommending tuition and fee proposals each year, prior to their submission to the President and Board of Trustees. Established after the passing of Oregon Senate Bill 242 in 2011, which required Universities to obtain student input in tuition and enrollment fees, the goal of the Tuition Advisory Council (TAC) is to provide a shared governance opportunity for students on campus to become familiar with university finances. Ultimately the council strives to create an environment where students, faculty, and administrators can provide meaningful feedback prior to the University formally submitting proposed tuition rates to the Board of Trustees and then to the Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC).
