Language
Page 387, after line 19, insert:
"5.  The Director of the Department of Planning and Budget shall appropriate and allot tuition and educational and general fee revenues in addition to those appropriated to the Educational and General programs of this act, provided that the additional tuition and fee revenue is not generated by increases in tuition and educational and general fees for resident undergraduates pursuant to §4-2.01 3.a)2) of this act, and provided that the additional revenue is applied solely to the operating programs of the Educational and General programs and that the request for additional nongeneral fund budget authority is consistent with budget items adopted in this act."


Explanation
(This amendment gives the institutions of higher education authority to generate tuition revenues from nonresidents and graduate and professional students to supplement general fund appropriations for such budget items as faculty salary increases, Year 2000 computer compliance, the operation and maintenance of new facilities, and such other items approved in this act. The language does not permit an increase in tuition and educational and general fees for resident undergraduate students, and the current tuition freeze is maintained.)
