For legislation relative to fees at community colleges and state universities. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to prohibit the University of Massachusetts and state universities from increasing their fees in any fiscal year where 50% of their operating costs and 100% of their collective bargaining obligations are funded through state appropriations. The bill allows these institutions to petition the Board of Higher Education for a fee increase, which the Board would then consider based on the quality of the educational programs and the burden the increase would impose on students.
