She noted that this number surpasses enrollment for fall 2004 by 5% but fell 3.5% below 2005 budgeted figures. The difference will not negatively affect the College s budget for the coming year, Dr. Baehre explained, because that budget was predicated on the old, lower state reimbursement rate. Now that the state has returned to a reimbursement approximating the constitutionally provided reimbursement level, the College is not expected to face a shortfall. Dr. Baehre also encouraged the trustees to attend the ACCT National Legislative Summit, to be held Feb. 5 through -8, 2006, in Washington, D.C. The College is well regarded nationally and its representatives are well received by members of Congress.
