Oversight
The use of differential tuition is governed by the same rules and oversight from the university controller’s office as regular tuition.
The Dean of the School directs the use of differential tuition funds in accordance with university policies and State regulations and in consultation with department and unit leaders. An advisory committee comprised of students, faculty, and staff from the Huntsman School also meets to discuss needs, use, and to provide recommendations. The actions of the committee and dean are governed by a charter for the Huntsman School Differential Tuition Advisory Board. Meeting minutes of this group are provided here:

Differential tuition expenditures follow state-approved rules. Most differential tuition dollars support the School's overall labor costs (faculty and staff), to enhance the college's instructional capacity to deliver world-class curriculum from leading professionals and to support experiential learning programs, all in effort to ensure student readiness for the modern workforce. Differential tuition dollars also support administrative infrastructure and program support in academic programs and initiatives.
