Show Residency statutes must be spelled out J The Utah Intercollegiate Assembly passed a residency resolution that will find its way to the Utah Legislature in January for consideration The resolution urges the State Board of Kegents to review residency laws yearly to see that methods and criteria used for granting residency are uniform throughout the state It also urges the Utah state legislation to clarify ambigious state residency laws and Figures maintained by the various universities exists indicated that have inconsistency in the state colleges For example at Utah State in the present system all of 72 residency applications were percent University 1977-7school the year granted during Earlier an executive council memlier had reported that only 14 percent of the residency applications were granted but this figure is not accurate During the same time only 45 of Utah and the percent were granted at the University the other inbetween inconsistent as are just figures in Utah education of stitutions higher The problem doesn't seem to be one of administrators having animosity toward some students but rather a vague law that is subject to various interpretations The UIA has taken the first step toward getting the frequency of granithout this ting residence more uniform across the state continual to law would the continue subject being step is the enters where and this controversy interpretation The vagueness of the law also makes it near impossible for students to understand the criteria used to determine qualification for residency Many have complained Also because the law is so vague administrators often have problems explaining to students why thier application was rejected The question of residency needs to be solved at the grassroots level before anything can be done at the university level 8 Looks like the buildings on campus aren’t the only things getting bombed around here!
