A two percent cut in state funding
may cause a tuition increase
for USC students, who are
already payina hiaher fees than
* students at most southern colleges,
President James Holderman
said.
"If our budget gets cut out,
tuition will probably go up for
this year and next," Holderman
said. "We are not funded as well
as other universities in the state
and in the South. That's not our
doing. That's the state govern
ment's doing."
USC students are being charged
higher tuition compaied with

colleges, according to

The board of trustees voted to

the two percent to the university
budget and will give the strongest
argument possible to avoid the

Francis Borkowski, USC provost

financial support shows that the
state places little importance on
higher education.
Borkowski also said this
weakness was the reason for
USC's lower-than-average
research rate in the CHE study.
"The program over the past
seven or eight years has been
substantial in the area of federal
grants," he said. "In 1978, we
