USC's budget of about $295
million for fiscal 1987-88, which
9 university President James
Holderman called the tightest
he's ever seen, was unanimously
approved July 23 by the board of
trustees.

despite the tight budget, and
faculty members will receive a
salary increase of about 4 percent,
Holderman said.
But all departments face a
budget cut of 6.6 percent from
the previous fiscal year, and incoming
students who still need to
register will find fewer courses
offered, he said.
The budget crunch was caused
when the South Carolina General

state-supported schools at only

Campbell trimmed another .5
percent off USC's budget when
he made 277 line-item vetoes in
the state budget in June.
USC has raised tuition three
times over the past five years, and
its per-scmestcr in-state tuitior
rate of $1,014 is one of the
highest in the Southeast. Thes<
two facts prompted USC not tc
raise tuition this year, Holder
man said.
