announced a tuition increase for
summer school last week. The 25
percent increase will raise tuition
from $48 per credit hour to $60 per
credit hour for undergraduates,
and from $50 to $60 for graduates
and law students.
USC students are becoming
accustomed to tuition hikes, with
thp additional snrohflraps hpstnwpH

on them both semesters this year.
It has become embedded in USC
students' minds that the faltering
economy is the culprit for higher
tuition. The South Carolina
Education Association, however,
has found another reason.
Teachers Group President
Vivian M. Watson was quoted in
The State as saying, "USC's tuition
i vint?/\Ar*/\ f/tM r??i wi n
in^i cdoc iui ouiiiiiici scuwi uiuy i& \
a blatant act of discrimination
against public school teachers."*
Watson feels this way because of a
state law which requires that
public school teachers take two,
college-level courses in a five-year
period.
While it is estimated that over 50
percent of the summer enrollment
is composed of teachers, it is highly
unlikely that the university enacted

any specific group in mind. It is
hard to plead "discrimination"
when USC has been increasing
tuition on everyone all year.

receive any direct taxes to help
defray fche cost of summer
sessions. As a matter of fact, most
of the costs are paid by USC full
time students. It is hoped that the
tuition increase will help curve the

summer school.
According to USC Provost Frank
Borkowski, no one at th6 university
is happy with the tuition for any
constituency. The board thought
long and hard about how to devise a
plan to cope with the economic
conditions. They didn't want to
raise undergraduate tuition, since
the federal loan cutbacks would
already be a burden to many
students. Summer school is not the

"economic crunch.'' There have
been many cutbacks in other areas
as well.
USC did not raise tuition to
purposely harm the public teachers
in South Carolina. If the teachers
want to "strike" against USC this
summer, that would be unfortunate.
But the teachers need to
realize that the university is not
carrying out a personal vendetta
against them. They are simply
responding to the faltering
economic conditions existing in our
country right now. No one enjoys
paying more tuition? ask any USC

subjected to enough increases to be
considered experts in the field. But
they have never blamed
discrimination.
