FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from Truman State University, Harris-Stowe State College and Missouri Western State College assume the proposal would result in no fiscal impact to the agencies.



Officials from the University of Missouri assume the proposal would result in little or no fiscal impact on the university.



Officials from Linn State Technical College state that from a long-range standpoint this legislation would potentially disrupt the teaching schedule, disclose closed session information that has previously been discussed only among board members and the president of the college and would potentially increase the cost of off-campus meetings.



Officials from the Coordinating Board For Higher Education (CBHE) assume the proposal would result in no fiscal impact to the CBHE. However, CBHE officials assume there would be a minor impact on affected institutions for the expense of an additional board representative.



The Oversight Division assumes additional board expenses would be minimal and could be absorbed by the affected institutions.

The faculty member representatives would receive the same reimbursement as other members of the board.



The Governing Board of Truman State University would consist of eleven members (under current law ten members).



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
