Tuition waivers should be the prerogative of the Institutions of Higher Education and not the State.

Hunt's part. She is not putting into consideration the pay differential between state higher ed. employees and other departments of the state. This bill would make many qualified faculty leave for private sectors, and would be incredibly detrimental to the economy.

Attracting and supporting these researchers should be a cornerstone in the state's economic recovery strategy.

The tuition waiver is a benefit that helps to retain high quality faculty in a lesser paying higher education position.

I am currently preparing to pursue a PhD in Education and cannot continue unless tuition is covered. I have earned my undergraduate and graduate degrees at URI. I am the only one in my entire extended family to ever graduate from college let alone pursue a doctorate. Other colleges offer their employees free schooling and RI would lose many higher ed employees because of this bill.

I clean toilets, wash floors, shampoo rugs, empty trash cans, and do other related functions for the education dept. of the state. I tke very few night classes as my time is limited and I am tired at the end of the day. I love school and have always wished to teach English, possibly in a high school. I cannot afford the classes myself at $30/yr. A country or world is only as good as its' education! I usually only take add-on classes,wo displacing others

This bill would greatly hinder our ability to recruit qualified new faculty and staff as current personnel retire.

Rhode Island is not interested in supporting even its own employees in the pursuit of excellence by supporting their educational goals.

If you pass this bill, shame on you for supporting mediocrity, particularly since providing this benefit to employees does not cost the state’s colleges any
