SB242 Improves Planning & Services for Oregonians
Fewer regulations = reduced delays and uncertaintiesEliminating fears of fund redirection makes planning
more rational and gives the Board and presidents greater control over OUS affairsTuition stays on campus (including, now, interest earnings on
tuition, directed to need-based financial aid)Absence of expenditure limitations allows campuses to spend
revenues to serve current and anticipated enrollmentsGreater accountability for performance deliverables results in
better services to the people of Oregon
