    6  programs leading to like degrees at state-operated institutions  of  the
    7  state  university  shall be charged a uniform rate of tuition except for
    8  differential tuition rates based on state residency.  Provided, however,
    9  that the trustees may authorize the presidents of the colleges of  tech-

   11  rates of tuition for each of  the  colleges  for  students  enrolled  in
   12  degree-granting  programs  leading to an associate degree and non-degree
   13  granting programs so long as such  tuition  rate  does  not  exceed  the
   14  tuition  rate  charged  to  students  who  are  enrolled  in like degree
   15  programs or degree-granting undergraduate programs leading to  a  bacca-
   16  laureate  degree  at  other  state-operated  institutions  of  the state
   17  university of New York. NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY  OTHER  PROVISION  OF  THIS
