Legislative Agenda

8 Endowed Chairs Program 2011 Legislative Agenda The endowed chairs program is one of the most successful public/private partnerships where private donations are matched dollar for dollar with public funds. Dollars are used to help fund faculty and research positions, new programs and lectureships. A bond issue was authorized in 2008 to fund $100 million of the current 364 million dollar backlog and in 2010 the legislature and Governor funded the debt service for this $100 million bond issue.

Legislative Agenda The State Regents, all 25 institutions, and all governing boards believe that there is no scenario where placing guns on campuses will do anything other than create a more dangerous environment for our students and faculty on campus. In past three legislative sessions, legislation has been introduced or discussed that would allow certain students to carry concealed weapons onto college property we have successfully defeated the legislation to date. It will continue to be a priority of the system to ensure this legislation is not law. Concealed Weapons Legislation

2011 Legislative Agenda OK Promise is one of the most successful college access scholarship programs in the country. There has been legislation introduced in past legislative sessions to change the requirements of the program that would reduce the number of students eligible to participate. Changing the requirements of OK Promise would alter the intent of the program, which is to ultimately provide students more access to college which will result in more Oklahoma college graduates. We oppose any legislation that would change the program’s focus on access. 11

12 Oklahoma Promise students average a 3.4 GPA compared to all high school seniors with a 3.0 GPA. Ok Promise students score higher on the ACT Test. On average 20 percent more Oklahoma’s Promise students enter college directly after the high school graduation when compared to all High School graduates. Ok Promise students have a higher persistence rates from freshmen to sophomore. Oklahoma’s Promise students complete college degrees at higher rates than non-Oklahoma’s Promise students. a.The six year degree completion rate is 50 percent for Oklahoma’s Promise students compared to 40 percent for non-Oklahoma’s Promise Students. b.The nine-year degree completion rate is 61 percent for Oklahoma’s Promise students compared to 50 percent for non-Oklahoma’s Promise students Oklahoma’s Promise students are even more likely to remain in Oklahoma after graduation when compared to all Oklahoma college graduates.

2011 Legislative Agenda Due to the economic downturn and record enrollment increases, our institutions have been stretched to the financial limits and yet the state system has been able to protect our students with limited tuition increases. In 2009, all of our 25 institutions froze tuition. Last year we had very limited tuition increases statewide. Our two research institutions, OU and OSU continue to be 11th and 12th in the in the Big 12 in regards to tuition and fees. We support leaving the tuition setting authority with the Oklahoma State Regents. Tuition Setting Authority 14
