2017-S5617 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5617

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the education law, in relation to
establishing the community college funding study

 PURPOSE :

Requires a study to consider alternative funding for community
colleges.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1. Adds new subdivision 14 to section 6304 of the education
law to provide that SUNY and CUNY trustees shall require each
community college president in each of the systems to establish an
internal committee directed to study the effectiveness of the current
full time equivalent (FTE) funding formula and alternatives.
Committees will consider funding of each academic program while taking
into account the specific mission, needs, geographic location and
uniqueness of such community college under review.

The new subdivision further provides that each internal committee
shall report recommendations to their university system's board of
trustees on December 1, 2017 and the board of trustees of each system
shall report recommendations to the Chairs of the Senate and Assembly
Higher Education Committees by January 1, 2018.

Section 2. Sets for the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

During this year's discussions on community college funding, SUNY put
forth a "hold harmless" model for their community colleges because of
issues related to enrollment. Because community colleges are funded on
an FTE model, a school that loses significant enrollment will also
lose significant operating aid.

This year alone, SUNY was faced with a cut of over $10 million in
funding for community colleges because of decreasing enrollment. This
legislation will allow the individual schools and the university
systems as a whole, a chance to examine the issue and offer
recommendations.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

TBD

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the education law, in relation to

 PURPOSE :

Requires a study to consider alternative funding for community
colleges.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1. Adds new subdivision 14 to section 6304 of the education
law to provide that SUNY trustees shall require each community college
president in each of the systems to establish an internal committee
directed to study the effectiveness of the current full, time
equivalent (FTE) funding formula and alternatives. Committees will
consider funding of each academic program while taking into account
the specific mission, needs, geographic location and uniqueness of
such community college under review.

The new subdivision further provides that each internal committee
shall report recommendations to their university system's board of
trustees on December 1, 2017 and the board of trustees of each system
shall report recommendations to the Chairs of the Senate and Assembly
Higher Education Committees by January 1, 2018.

This bill also provides that CUNY central establish an internal
committee to examine the same issues concerning community college
funding and report recommendations on the same timeline as SUNY. The
internal committee shall report recommendations to the CUNY board of

report recommendations to the Chairs of the Senate and Assembly Higher
Education Committees by January 1, 2018.

Section 2. Sets for the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

During this year's discussions on community college funding, SUNY put
forth a "hold harmless" model for their community colleges because of
issues related to enrollment. Because community colleges are funded on
an FIE model, a school that loses significant enrollment will also
lose significant operating aid.

This year alone, SUNY was faced with a cut of over $10 million in
funding for community colleges because of decreasing enrollment. This
legislation will allow the individual schools and the university
systems as a whole, a chance to examine the issue and offer
recommendations.
