GCCC to push rule change on roster limits
Trustees discussed continuing a rule change to allow colleges to decide roster sizes for teams across sports. Swender argued conference limits are unfair when students pay their own way and other colleges have unlimited rosters with full scholarships. The meeting also approved the 2016-17 budget, with a small drop in the mill levy and about $500,000 less in property taxes, plus updates on accreditation plans, the memorial bench for Carolyn Klaassen, and fall new student orientation.
