RESOLVED: that the Board of Governors authorize the Commissioner to finalize the draft of the 2001 Annual Report of the Board’s Strategic Plan to Ensure Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Connecticut Public Higher Education and submit the report to the Governor and the Connecticut General Assembly
RESOLVED: that the Board of Governors endorse the following recommendations concerning the FY 2001-02 tuition and fee adjustments:

In light of the state’s goal of ensuring affordable access, encouraging college attendance and supporting workforce development in Connecticut, tuition (including educational extension fees) and fee increases for FY 2001-02 should be limited, wherever possible, to current inflationary changes as measured by the Higher Education Price Index.

The apparently growing constituent unit interest in establishing tuition and fee rates based on competitive or market driven criteria is at odds with the system’s overall goal and responsibility to ensure access and affordability for all Connecticut citizens and should be examined in the light of public sector policy.

Together with the units, the Board of Governors for Higher Education should advocate for state investment in programs and services evidenced to meet state need and hold to the policy that such improvements should not be financed solely through student tuition and fees.

Anticipated enrollment increases should be recognized by the University of Connecticut and the Connecticut State University as generating additional revenue above the margin of gain provided through inflationary increases. For the University of Connecticut the anticipated enrollment increase of 9 percent and for the Connecticut State University the anticipated enrollment increase of 2 percent should sustain some of the program improvements envisioned by these two units and should, therefore, cause reconsideration of the 3.9 percent tuition increases.

The equity of fee increases for segments of the student population, and the relationship of fee increases to tuition increases, also are an issue among the constituent units and are recommended for additional consideration. Examples of these increases are the application of an average increase to fees at the University of Connecticut, the double digit increase proposed for part-time students system-wide at Connecticut State University and the double digit increase for all Central Connecticut State University students required to support Division I intercollegiate and other athletic programs.

The Board of Governors for Higher Education reemphasizes that it is requesting the responsibility of reviewing and approving all public sector petitions to increase tuition beyond the level of annual inflation indices, which this year are 2.85 percent for the CPI and 3.7 percent for the HEPI.

RESOLVED: that the Board of Governors approve the operating fund quarterly reports for the six-month period ending December 31, 2001, for the University of Connecticut, University of Connecticut Health Center, Connecticut State University, Community-Technical Colleges and Charter Oak State College for submission to the Office of Policy and Management and the Appropriations and Education Committee.
