presidents. They shall meet at least | 3 | | semiannually to achieve economies of
scale where possible and | 4 | | provide the most innovative and efficient programs and
| 5 | | services.
| 6 | | The Board, in the analysis of formulating the annual budget | 7 | | request,
shall consider rates of tuition and fees at the state | 8 | | universities and
colleges. The Board shall also consider the | 9 | | current and projected
utilization of the total physical plant | 10 | | of each campus of a university or
college in approving the | 11 | | capital budget for any new building or facility.
| 12 | | The Board of Higher Education shall submit to the Governor, | 13 | | to the
General Assembly, and to the appropriate budget agencies | 14 | | of the Governor
and General Assembly its analysis and | 15 | | recommendations on such budget
proposals.

submit its plan for capital improvements of | 18 | | non-instructional facilities to
the Board for approval before | 19 | | final commitments are made. Non-instructional
uses shall | 20 | | include but not be limited to dormitories, union buildings,
| 21 | | field houses, stadium, other recreational facilities and | 22 | | parking lots. The
Board shall determine whether or not any | 23 | | project submitted for approval is

buildings that | 25 | | are provided for therein. If the project is found by a
majority | 26 | | of the Board not to be consistent, such capital improvement |
