| MN | Signed into law 05/2010 | Postsec.
Community College | Provides that institutions are eligible to participate in state student aid programs if the institution is:
• operated by the state (MnSCU) or the Board of Regents (U of M);
• privately operated and has academic standards comparable to Minnesota institutions, is licensed or regulated by OHE, participates in federal financial aid programs by July 1, 2010, or has participated in state financial aid programs and requires signed disclosure forms from each enrolled student recognizing it does not participate in federal aid programs; or
• offers only graduate programs or programs too short for federal financial aid and the institution is registered or licensed by OHE.
A private institution that does not participate in the federal Pell program must participate within three years of an ownership change to continue as an eligible institution, subject to an appeal for a single one-year extension. Any institution that loses eligibility for the federal Pell program is not an eligible institution for state grants.

| TN | Signed into law 01/2010 | Postsec.
Community College | Enacts the Complete College Tennessee Act of 2010. Revises previously established provisions to require the Tennessee higher education commission (THEC) to construct a statewide master plan that directs higher education to be accountable for increasing the educational attainment levels of Tennesseans. This bill also requires THEC, in consultation with the respective governing boards, to approve institutional mission statements concurrent with the adoption of each revised statewide master plan. Each institutional mission statement must characterize the institution's distinctiveness in degree offerings and address institutional accountability. Removes the requirement for THEC to develop county and regional profiles. Specifies that funding recommendations made by THEC must reflect the priorities of the approved master plan. The master plan must address the state's economic development, work force development, and research needs; ensure increased degree production within the state's capacity to support higher education; and use institutional mission differentiation to realize statewide efficiencies through institutional collaboration and minimized redundancy in degree offerings, instructional locations, and competitive research. Requires the Board of Regents to establish a comprehensive, statewide coordinated community college system. Requires the THEC to develop and the Regents to implement a common course-numbering system by fall 2011 and to ddress transfer/articulation by identifying 60 hours of coursework that will transfer as a block from two-year to four-year colleges. After July 1, 2012, four-year institutions may no longer provide remedial or developmental instruction to any student unless it corrdinates its efforts with a two-year college to teach the student (who then must enroll at both institutions).
Under present law, THEC must develop policies and formulae or guidelines for fair and equitable distribution and use of public funds among the state's institutions of higher learning that are consistent with and further the goals of the statewide master plan, taking into account enrollment projections, recognizing institutional differences as well as similarities in function, services, academic programs and levels of instruction. This bill deletes the requirement that the developed policies and formulae or guidelines "take into account enrollment projections, recognizing institutional differences as well as similarities in function, services, academic programs and levels of instruction." Under present law, the policies and formulae or guidelines must also support and enhance regional collaboration and student access through financial aid, while being mindful of the funding capacity of the state. This bill removes this requirement. http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/106/Bill/SB7006.pdf
