BOR is meeting this morning for its May meeting. CT-N is scheduled to film the meeting, so it will be available for viewing later this week at http://ct-n.com. You can find the agenda here.

Late in the session, several amendments were filed by members of the Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committee, notably Rep. Haddad, Sen. Bye, and Sen. Flexor, requiring the Board of Regents to hold public hearings if they recommend closing any college and the General Assembly would retain the right to reject the closure plan (read amendment here). While the amendments did not go through, it is likely that they will return as legislation next session.
