PRESIDENT�S REPORT- William Richards > At the 3/15/10 Board meeting, Trustee Krahulik inquired about a 2% increase in revenue versus a higher reported headcount. President Richards responded that the difference arises due the initial report of the fall 2010 semester student enrollment, which included all full-time and part-time students, prior to the freeze date. After the freeze date, the tuition increase is determined; however, prior to the freeze date, students may drop out for tuition nonpayment or they may have dropped and/or added courses. The initial headcount may indicate a 7 or 8% increase, while the actual enrollment could decrease by the freeze date. > Two new Newburgh, full-time security employees were hired in preparation for the opening of Kaplan Hall. Part-time security was also increased in Middletown. > Upcoming College events for the remainder of the semester are listed on the last page of the press release report. > The winners of the Student Chancellor�s Awards for Student Excellence and PTK Awards will be invited to attend the 5/12 Board meeting.
