While the majority of USC students had to pay a $50 to $100
tuition increase this fall, medical school students' tuition was
raised $215 to $415.
Medical school juniors and seniors began classes June 29
and July 6, respectively. Both groups paid their fees by June
29 and received fee receipts for either $790 (in-state) or
$1,580 (out-of-state).
But medical students were notified in August, several
weeks after classes had begun, that a tuition increase would

SEVERAL medical students, who asked to remain
anonymous, expressed concern over the decision to raise fees
after classes were already in session. Although they are
happy with other aspects of the medical school, the increase
is an "aggravating problem" for some medical students.
"I don't think it's fair," said a junior. "I've had to compromise
with my financial situation. A lot of seniors are older
with families and are very limited with their finances. It's
especially a narusnip ior siuaenis on loans, me siuaeni
added.
According to James Donohue, assistant to the dean for
student affairs in the School of Medicine, the semester tuition

out-of-state students. Some students asked for a postponement
of the increase until January but were told it was
impossible because of "the amount of paperwork," Donohue
said.
Another junior said a fee receipt is a legal contract between
the students and the university. 44A contract is a contract,"
the student said. 44We upheld our end of the

no right," the student said.
THERE is a rumor among the medical students that a
legal action would be taken to fight the increase, but this has
not been substantiated. Apparently several students
discussed the possibility with USC attorneys but were not told
whether they had a good case, USC attorneys were (not
available for comment.
However, the medical students doubt any formal action
will be taken because of the high cost of legal services.
"We don't want to cause any waves," one senior said. "We
all really are happy with the med school here, but we feel
we've been done unjustly ."
