OUS
tuition flexibility proposals were accepted by the 2003
Legislature. However, no new rules granting ongoing tuition
flexibility were passed.
SB
437, signed by the Governor in August 2003, affords OUS
campuses greater flexibility in several areas including: 1)
streamlining the process of having new academic degree
programs approved; 2) allowing OUS to buy, sell, hold, and
dispose of real or personal property; 3) providing for
exemptions from competitive procurement procedures; 4)
exempting the OUS from Department of Administrative Services
information technology rules and requirements; 5) allowing OUS
to dispose of worn out or obsolete equipment without the
approval of the Department of Administrative Services, and
direct interest earnings from the sale of surplus goods to OUS;
and 6) allowing the OUS Board to delegate duties, functions
and powers to institutions within the OUS.
