SB2079 amends Tennessee higher education policies, including tuition fees and on-time graduation rates.
SB2079 amends Tennessee Code to revise higher education policies. It changes the appointment process for voting members on state university boards, requiring the governor, senate speaker, and house speaker to appoint three members each. The bill also mandates that each board adopt a policy for using out-of-state undergraduate tuition and fees to mitigate in-state tuition costs. Additionally, it defines "on-time graduation" for public universities and community colleges, setting four years for universities and three for community colleges.
