To brace for cuts, the College of Charleston’s board of trustees Wednesday approved a large tuition increase for its students, boosting in-state tuition 4 percent and tuition for out-of-state students by 8 percent. The increase means South Carolina residents will pay an extra $75 to attend the college; out-of-state residents will have to pony up an additional $315. According to trustees, the increase will help make up for the 19 percent cut the college would receive under the House plan, which would slash about $3.7 million from the institution’s budget. - Students at The Citadel will pay an average of 10 percent more in tuition next year under a plan the school’s Board of Visitors approved Friday. The total cost for an in-state cadet will be $10,546 next year, up from $9,988 this year. The cost covers athletics fees, registration, room, board, laundry and other expenses in addition to tuition. OiTt-of-state students will pay $ 1,211 more, moving their cost up to $ 17,221 a year. Meanwhile; the chairman of Clemson’s board of trustees told students Friday that they, too, should brace for what he said would be unprecedented increases in tuition. Clemson would lose $20 million under the House plan, which newly re-elected chairman Lawrence Gressette said would require higher tuition to meet the university’s goal of becoming one of the top 20 universities in the country. “Should the state legislature vote not to support higher education by levying an unprecedented budget cut on the state’s colleges and universities, then you should prepare for unprecedented, substantial and thoughtful tuition increases,” Gressette said. The size of the increase would be decided after the budget was approved, he said. “There will be no reduction in service to our students. nor will we allow quality of education at Cleinson to suffer,” Gressette said. Meiuiwliile, the Senate’s budget tattler said he doesn’t want to borrow money to help pay for a variety of South Carolina needs, including some of USC's construction projects. “We absolutely do not need a bond bill in SouiIl Carolina this year," Leatherman said. ™ Any bond issue would have to be approved as part of the state’s budget. But Gov. Jim Hodges, who this past month announced a plan that would spare higher education from the deep cuts he had originally proposed, said Leatherman’s opinion might not echo that of the Senate. Hodges’ phut to exempt higher education — his first budget had already spared public education — would rely heavily on a new bond issue. “There may be some disagreement in the Senate on that,” Hodges said. “If the Senate doesn’t agree to borrow, then there’s little hope that the education budget can be spared.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.
