Report explains effect of cut in NU financial aid
By D. Eric Kirchcr
About 25 percent of NU students
receiving financial aid may become in
eligible if the Reagan administration's
proposed changes are passed by Congress,
according to a report given to the NU
Board of Regents.
The report on student financial aid,
asked for by the regents at the March
meeting,, says between 300 and 400 UNL
students and 200 to 300 UNO students
may have to quit college if Congress
approves the cuts.
"The report-released by the Academic
Affairs office-also says that even if total
enrollment doesn't drop, the kind of
student at NU may change. It says "truly
needy" students may be unable to enter
some professions.
Credit hour production at UNL and
UNO may drop because of the enrollment
drop and because more students may
switch to part-time enrollment in order
to work. The stimated drop in hours would
be 7,000 at UNO and between 30,000 and
40,000 at UNL.
The report estimated the drops may
be noticed in the spring 1982 semester
because the cuts would go into effect
after the fall aid is released.
The cuts are expected to affect the
students most who are on Pell Grants
(BEOG) and Guaranteed Student Loans
(GSL).
The report doesn't predict the effect
on residency hall occupancy because of
lack of data. It says the amount of aid
used to pay tuition and the number of
students who would drop college if they
don't receive aid is hard to determine.
It says the number of students who may
borrow at higher interest rates is difficult
to predict accurately.
The report estimates that about $1
million of federal aid is used to pay tuition
and fees. About $2.8 million in other aid
is used to pay tuition and fees.
About 16,600 UNL students receive
some form of federal aid, totaling $24,
263,024, and an unknown number receive
other aid, totaling $11,554,000, according
to the report.
About 8,500 UNO students receive
$9,814,000 in aid, and about 2,673 NU
Medical Center students receive $6,617,
900 in aid, according to the report.

ing. The minimums generally become less as
the course level increases.. Deans may grant;
exemptions to the; minimums,, with the
approved exemptions and their justifica
tion, being reported to. the vice chancellor
of academic affairs..
The report states that the purpose of
the minimum class size policy is to increase
the efficients use of professors but that
