Education (Higher Education)

House Bill 515 proposes a new tuition policy for non-Vermont residents attending public postsecondary institutions in Vermont. It requires the University of Vermont and the Vermont State Colleges Corporation to offer in-state tuition rates to students who are not Vermont residents. This special rate applies specifically if the student resides in a state that has banned diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in its state-funded colleges and universities.
