At its meeting on Tuesday evening, July 14, the Rensselaer County legislature unanimously approved the college’s budget request for 2020-21.
President Roger Ramsammy and Vice President Bill Reuter presented the budget to the legislature via Zoom. It totals just under 90 million dollars ($89,659,689), a reduction of 8.6% ($8,481,335) from the current fiscal year.
Importantly, and in the interest of maintaining affordability for our students and easing financial obstacles to enrollment, the budget freezes tuition and fees at $2,400 per semester, the same amount it was in 2019-2020.
The legislature also approved resolutions for the renovation of Lang Hall, part of the college’s new facilities master plan. Those resolutions award contracts for general construction, mechanical, plumbing and electrical services as approved by the college Board of Trustees last month.
