GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS

Volume 5, Number 1, March 4, 1996

It hardly seems possible, but it's true. Another legislative session begins tomorrow, March 5th, and the rumors are already flying that this yearUs sixty-day session will extend beyond its scheduled finish on May 3rd.

Issues regarding higher education and its funding will once again be in the spotlight. Topics currently being discussed include greater flexibility for individual institutions and their president, tuition proposals, and financial aid and excess hours concerns. I will attempt to keep you informed of these and other important issues and events during the next nine weeks.

As always, I welcome your comments, questions and concerns, and value your insight and knowledge. Call me at 644-4453 or e-mail kdaly@govrel.fsu.edu. -- Kathleen Daly
