Budget issues top State Board of Community Colleges agenda
RALEIGH - The State Board of Community Colleges is poised to review and approve budget allocations for the 58 colleges of the North Carolina Community College System. The full Board meets on Friday, August 17 at 11:00 a.m. in the Caswell Building. The budget approval process begins in the Wednesday Finance and Capital Needs Committee meeting, which is at 3:00 p.m. in Room 201-A. The panel meets again on Thursday afternoon at 1:30.
Also on the State Board agenda is approval of the 6.3 percent tuition increase, retroactive to July 1, 2007, as set by the General Assembly. Legislators increased in-state rate from $39.50 to $42.00 per credit hour, with a maximum of $672 per semester (16 credit hours). The out-of-state rate increases from $219.50 to $233.30 per credit hour, with a maximum of $3,732.80 per semester. Colleges were advised during registration for the fall to charge the expected higher tuition rate to avoid the need for subsequent bills when the budget was finalized.
The Board will be asked to approve a charter for the Accountability and Audit Committee, which was formed to respond to legislation establishing the North Carolina Internal Audit Act. The Committee’s focus is to ensure compliance with regard to the policies practiced by the colleges and ensure that those policies are appropriate.
The Board is expected to approve Dr. Betty Young as the new president of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College. Young is currently the president of Northwest State Community College in Toledo, Ohio and might be best known for her trip to Burbank, California in September, 2005. She rode her Harley-Davidson to California to chide Tonight Show host Jay Leno for the snide comments he made about community colleges on his show. Young will succeed K. Ray Bailey who concluded his 40+ years of distinguished service at A-B Tech as president of the college since 1990. He was honored as System President of the Year in 2005.
The Board will receive a progress report from the Presidential Search Committee, which meets on Thursday morning at 10:00 in Room 201-A of the Caswell Building.
