Chair Lee on tuition adjustment and enrollment trends
Lee asks about the $25 million tuition adjustment reduction and CUNY's projected vs actual enrollment for FY25 and FY26. Batista reports enrollment trending upward with 179,000 FTE and 239,000 total enrollment in FY26.
There's also a $25 million reduction in FY26 only for tuition adjustment related to student enrollment.
What was CUNY's projected student enrollment versus the actual for FY25, which I know is going back a little bit, and FY26?
Can you have those?
And then also just whether you anticipate an increase or decrease in FY27.
So the 26 enrollment on FTE basis is at the senior colleges 128,000, at the junior colleges, at the community colleges, pardon me, 51,000 for a total of 179.
That's about 4,000 in total.
Above the 4400 above the FY25 level.
That's on the FTE basis.
On a total basis, those numbers are 26, 164 at the senior colleges, 75 at the community colleges.
For a total of 239, which is 1,700 higher than the enrollment in 25.
Okay, great.
So the trends are increasing, which is good to see.
The enrollment trend is ticking upward.
Yes, that's good.
Amen.
Yeah.
