The Auditors of Public Accounts just released a review of Western Connecticut State University for 2011 and 2012. They make 19 recommendations.http://cga.ct.gov/apa/reports/Western%20Connecticut%20State%20University_20150121_FY2011%2c2012.pdf Auditors found that some out-of-state students were getting charged in-state rates:
“Western Connecticut State University should take steps to ensure that students
are properly classified and charged as in-state or out-of-state students for tuition
and fee purposes. Furthermore, the university should execute waivers of tuition
and fees in accordance with Connecticut State University policy and the General
Statutes.
Comment:
The university informed us of instances in which a student was incorrectly
charged the in-state rates for tuition and fees but should have been charged the
higher out-of-state rates. The university waived certain charges for the student
noted in our prior audit who was incorrectly charged the lower in-state tuition and
fee rates. Neither the General Statutes nor the CSUS Board of Trustees policies
appear to provide the Connecticut State Universities the authority to grant such
waivers.”
