The New York State Senate and Assembly on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week overrode a number of Executive vetoes relating to higher education. The Legislature restored $119 million in funding for the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and $1 million for the Liberty Partnerships Program. This new fiscal plan includes a $98 million increase in TAP for part-time
students in both the independent and public sectors and an increase
(10%) in Direct Institutional (“Bundy”) Aid.
