The House in the last budget cycle removed tuition caps, but the Senate did not. That is how close we came to removing tuition caps. We are very early in the process. There will not be any mandatory relegating of compensation increases to the colleges. We will do what we can centrally.
Some colleges have more flexibility some find the compensation issues more pressing than others.
There is a sense that giving some flexibility to the colleges would be helpful. With respect to providing targeted differential money we are down to next to nothing. That has not been decided. The Deans were asked to go back and talk to the chairs to get suggestions from faculty. We have to address this in the next few weeks.
