Each year, using data from the preceding fiscal year, public universities shall include as part of an undergraduate student’s tuition bill or other statement of tuition charges or as a separate attachment to the bill or charge the following statement:
    For Fiscal Year ….., the General Assembly and the
    
Governor authorized the aggregate amount of $….. to be appropriated from the General Revenue Fund and the Education Assistance Fund for operation of the State‘s public universities. For Fiscal Year ….., each resident undergraduate full-time public university student received an average tuition subsidy of $….. from the State of Illinois, which was applied to offset the full cost of instruction.
The average resident tuition subsidy rate from the State for each undergraduate resident full-time public university student shall be determined annually by the Illinois Board of Higher Education using the following formula: the average total undergraduate instructional costs per full-time equivalent undergraduate student at Illinois public universities minus the average full-time undergraduate resident tuition rate at Illinois public universities. For the purposes of this calculation, a full time equivalent undergraduate student shall be represented by 30 undergraduate hours taken in a fiscal year.
