- RESOLVED: that the Board of Governors authorize the Commissioner to

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.
