      The Univ. of Neb. (i.e., UN Kearney; UN Lincoln; UN Medical Center;
UN Omaha) has been debating degree based tuition.  We do have multiple
degree based fees that serve the same purpose.  The Regents have authorized
colleges to submit differential tuition proposals.  None of the four
Chancellors have let a differential tuition proposal leave their campus yet
because of unclear rules on who gets the losses and who gets the gains.
Actually, I suspect the real reluctance is that 100% of fees stay on that
campus while 100% of tuition goes through the UoN System's budgetary
process for allocation across the system.  Why take a new risk when the
same purpose can be accomplished without having to trust three other
Chancellors, a President, and a Board of Regents to allocate in a "fair"
manner?

      Starting Spring 2008, the entire campus of UNO did get authorization
to offer 150% in-state tuition to out of state students from four Iowa
counties bordering Omaha.
