* Does not include students who enrolled in postsecondary education out of state, historically 4-5% of high school graduates.
Note: percentages use the 90,769 as the denominator and will add up to more than 100% because students may enroll in more than one7
sector.
Plugging the Pipeline
AA Transfers to the State Universities



The dramatic growth in Florida College System enrollments is proportionally
increasing the number of AA graduates.
A gap is starting to grow between the number of AA graduates seeking to
transfer and transfer admissions to the State University System.
State universities will need to increase the number of transfer students to
meet demand for junior level transfers.

Substantive Legislative Issues

E-Text Fee


Will allow colleges specific authority to
charge "licensing fees" for electronic texts in
lieu of traditional texts.
Credit Card Convenience fee

Tweak last year’s legislation to include all
students, not just college credit.
Substantive Legislative Issues

Continuing Workforce Education –


“Glitch bill” designed to tweak problematic
areas in the bill that passed the 2010 session
to require 100% support from fees.
HB 007 Transportation Fee Bill

Continue for the 12th year trying to pass a
transportation fee bill similar to what the
universities have.
Substantive Legislative Issues

Retirement and Benefits



Monitor and influence major changes proposed
last year that will be proposed again.
Could include substantial changes to FRS as we
know it
Also on the table is DROP, and possibly other
benefits


Employee Co-pay - # 1 issue
Continuation of Defined Benefit
Retirement Issues Status





Key issue is the states obligation to cover the
FRS “unfunded liability”, i.e., the difference
between the cash value in the entire system
currently and what would be needed to pay out
every obligation annually.
Covered 3 Legislative Committees week of
January 10
Scheduled Key meetings with Legislative Staff

OPPAGA (Office of Public Policy and Government
Accountability)


Baccalaureate degrees


Monitor and review results of OPPAGA study relating to
consolidation of tech centers with colleges or vice versa.
Monitor the Higher Education Coordinating Council and the
Board of Governors on decisions that could impact the
offering of four-year degrees by our colleges.
General Governance

Monitor bills and other actions that may impact our local
governance by weakening our Boards of Trustees and/or
providing greater oversight authority to the DOE.
