Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Mines tuition and admission rules change

The Colorado School of Mines board must set tuition in line with cash fund appropriations from the state legislature. It may charge different tuition to Colorado students and students from other states. The law sets no tuition amount or formula for a student's bill. Mines also loses its exemption from state admission rules for applicants with International Baccalaureate diplomas. The supplied text does not explain those admission standards.

Mines leaves special state contract framework

The law ends the Colorado School of Mines' special performance-contract framework, including its measurable goals. It removes the requirement for a separate Mines funding line through fee-for-service contracts and student stipends. The higher education department must submit a budget request that supports the state higher education master plan. The department's executive director keeps authority over other specified higher education contracts, without the repealed Mines framework.
