Greene Co. takes over college chargebacks

Sep 29, 2015 5:27 am
Jim Planck is reporting in The Daily Mail the Greene County Legislature has approved the final installment of its program to relieve towns of college chargeback payments. Until this program was implemented in 2011, payments were made by a student's home location exclusively when the student was enrolled in a community college outside of Greene County. Columbia-Greene Community College President James Campion explained, “If...someone from Greene County attends Ulster County Community College, Ulster County Community College then bills the cost back to Greene County, and that represents Greene County’s share of the student’s cost of attendance.” That cost is split three ways -- between the state, the county and the student. Since 2011, Greene county has assumed responsibility for a portion of the chargeback payments. Beginning Jan. 1, the county will be responsible for the full amount. Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said Mon., Sept. 28, the full annual cost of the chargebacks is approximately $700,000. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
