College flex plans hit the inbox

State colleges and universities filed tuition flexibility plans with the state Department of Higher Education Friday, the first such requests under a new state law that gives institutions greater control over tuition rates.

As of 5 p.m., the department had received e-mailed plans from the University of Colorado System, Metropolitan State College, Mesa State College and Fort Lewis College. The Colorado School of Mines notified the department it was not applying, according to Dawn Taylor Owens of DHE.
