The State University of New York Board of Trustees met on Tuesday to adopt several proposals including a 2010–2011 State Budget Request and a systemwide transfer agreement for students.
The budget proposes an annual tuition increase of 2 percent—or $100—effective in fall 2010, reflecting therational tuition policy endorsed by the board last year. The budget request also asks for $2.17 billion in state funding, as enrollment at the state’s 64 campusescontinues to climb. The budget proposal now goes to Gov. David Paterson.
The board also approved a student-mobility policy that would allow students to transfer full credit for any successfully completed first- or second-year undergraduate course from any SUNY institution to another. The policy will be implemented in fall 2010.
Trustees also promoted eight SUNY faculty members to the rank of Distinguished Professor, including Buffalo State’s Ann C. Colley.
