A tuition increase and sur
?- cnarges tor library, equipment
and computer improvements will
be proposed to USC's board of
trustees this week, USC President
James Holderman said Tuesday.
The board of trustees meet Fri
day to decide specific increases,
but Holderman said tuition
should increase between $50 and
$100 beginning in the fall
semester.
"It's not going to be a staggering
increase," he said. "It's

A TUITION increase will help
USC improve its academic status,
Holderman said.
"The university is very much
on the move and we want to keep
it that way by supplying the
classrooms and labs," he said.
"We'll still be very competitive
witn the tuition for in-state and
out-of-state schools."
^ In-state students paid $720 and
^ out-of-state students paid $1,485
per semester in tuition. The
board of trustees voted earlier to
raise the health fee $9 to $52.50
lor mil-time undergraduate
students.
Along with the tuition increase,
the board will decide
wh :ther to expand computer fees
anc add a $2 surcharge per credit

cost students an additional $20
per computer course, but the
total charge would not exceed the
$50 fee that students in math and
science, business and engineering
already pay.
The surcharge for libraries and
equipment is a "possibility, just
for this year," Holderman said.
"We've not had any equipment
money for at least 10
years," he said. "We've had no
substantial library funds for
some time."
Some reports have also outlined
a proposal to increase

"IT (A business school tuition
increase) may be part of the
package, but nothing is definite
on that yet," Holdcrman said.
Even with a sizable tuition increase
for graduate business
students, Holderinan said a large
increase is justified.
"That's on the graduate
level," he said. "A lot of those
students find scholarships and
corporations to pay for that.
