2021 Colorado Code|Title 23 - Postsecondary Education|Article 5 - General Provisions|§ 23-5-137. Loan Repayment Assistance - Legislative Declaration - Definitions

  This section shall be known and may be cited as the “Loan Repayment Assistance Act”.      The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that:   It is of great value to the state to encourage students and graduates of institutions of higher education to enter public interest careers;    With rising costs of education and the debt that many students incur to finance their education, there are increasing barriers to entering public interest employment because the pay is typically substantially lower than that of other employment sectors; and    Inspired by a tradition of public interest, the university of Colorado law school developed a loan repayment assistance program to encourage and assist students and graduates to enter careers related to public interest and to help improve access to the justice system.       The general assembly therefore declares that it is in the best interest of the state of Colorado to encourage and authorize institutions of higher education to create loan repayment assistance programs that provide for the partial or full repayment of the educational loans of students or graduates who enter public interest careers.       As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:   “Institution of higher education” means a postsecondary educational institution established and existing pursuant to law.    “Program” means a loan assistance repayment program authorized pursuant to this article for students or graduates who enter public interest careers.         The governing board of each institution of higher education is hereby encouraged and authorized to establish a loan repayment assistance program to assist students or graduates from the institution who select careers in public interest. The governing board of each institution shall establish criteria and rules to govern the implementation and operation of the program at the institution. The program shall allow the governing board to provide a loan or a grant to a student or graduate of the institution in accordance with the criteria and rules set forth by the governing board pursuant to this section.    Private contributions made for the benefit of a program and other available funds shall fund a program at an institution of higher education. An institution of higher education shall hold moneys to support a program in a fund account, and any unexpended or unencumbered moneys remaining in the account at the end of a fiscal year shall remain in the account and shall not revert or be transferred to another account or fund.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 23 - Postsecondary Education|Article 5 - General Provisions|§ 23-5-140. Lifesaving School Safety Information - Legislative Declaration - Definitions

     The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   The safety of students, faculty, and staff who work and learn on the campuses of Colorado institutions of higher education can be enhanced by informing, organizing, and empowering those individuals to respond appropriately to emergency situations on campus;    Critical incidents that take place on campuses are unique, life-changing events that require exercising basic survival skills during an intense period of high mental and physical stress. Having the information necessary to respond effectively to these critical incidents can be key to a positive individual or group outcome in a true life or death situation; and    Colorado institutions of higher education should ensure that all students, faculty, and staff receive updated school safety information that reflects best practices for their institution at the beginning of each school year.       The general assembly therefore finds that the dissemination of safety information to students, faculty, and staff that reflects best practices for the institution may encourage students, faculty, and staff to respond appropriately and in coordination with school safety personnel in emergency situations.       As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:   “Institution of higher education” or “institution” means a state institution of higher education as defined in section 23-18-102 (10)(a), a local district college, an area technical college, or a technical college.    “School building” means a building, including but not limited to a classroom building or a school dormitory, that is a public building of an institution of higher education.         Each institution of higher education shall develop policies and procedures that are tailored to the institution and that reflect best practices concerning critical incident response protocols and personal safety on campus and in school buildings on campus.    Beginning in the 2011-12 academic year, each institution shall disseminate annually school safety information to students, faculty, and staff concerning the policies and procedures developed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (3).
