What does it take to be a Nebraska resident?
Debbra Hoy, a first-year law student at the NU Law
College, said she has lived in Nebraska all her life, but be
cause she left the state for 1 1 months she must pay non
resident tuition.
Hoy, 24, charges that the state statutes establishing
residency requirements is unconstitutional and is suing the
NU Board of Regents for the $1 200 tuition difference,
plus 6 per cent interest. ,
"The statute can't be enforced evenly," Hoy said. "It's
impossible for the university to check out and confirm
each person." She said she knows of non-resident law stu
dents who pay resident tuition rates.
The present statute, passed in 1973, requires all non
residents to pay non-resident tuition.
According to John Gourlay; general counsel for NU,
residency is determined by the student's relation to
another person, such as parents.
Resident parents
Students are entitled to resident rates because their
parents are residents, Gourlay explained.
As the law now stands, he explained, if a family moves
to Nebraska with an 18- and 20-year-cld college student,
the minor will pay in-state tuition rates, but the 20-year-old
is considered a non-resident and must pay non
resident tuition.
Residency also is determined by the student's intent,
whether he or she intended to live in or leave the state
permanently, he said, and by the student's relation to the
state, which covers students of legal age and those with no
legal guardian.
This part of the student pertains to Hoy, he said.
By state law, those eligible for resident tuition must be
a registered voter in Nebraska, pay state and local taxes
the year before admission or own a house in the state.
Hoy admits she wasn't a registered voter before enter
ing law school. She and her husband were in New Mexico
for 1 1 months.
"When a person is here 23 years, is gone for 11
months, comes back and is not a resident; it's as if I've
never been here," she said. . : rJ
Nebraska education -
She said she attended school in Nebraska. She
graduated from Nebraska Wesley an University, majoring
in political science, worked at UNLin 1975 and paid resi
dent tuition, rates for UNL graduate courses in political
science. Her parents have lived here all their lives, she
added. .
Hoy said she never intended to leave the state per
manently. When she came back to Nebraska in the fall
1976, she said, she tried to apply for resident tuition
rates, but her application was turned down. She asked the
residency . office to reconsider, but was again denied
. residency rates.
Gourlay declined to discuss the merits of "the case
before it vent to court, but he said he reviewed Hoy's
application for residency and looked at it "quite care
fully" before he turned her down.
He said he thinks the university's decision was a proper
one and told Hoy the only other avenue of appeal open to
her was through the courts.
The statutes spell out every individual case in detail, he
said. The university "attempts to interpret and apply th
rules inacted by the (Nebraska) Legislature" as fairly as
possible, he explained.
dine, William, Wright, Johnson and Oldfather, a
Lincoln law firm, will defend the university. '
Don Stenberg, Hoy's attorney said the court battle
probably will be in eight to 12 months, "if things take
their normal course."
