steady until HEPI meets that institution’s increase.
“This contingency is punitive in that it does not
consider future inflation or the reality that tuition
increases provide the only revenue source for us to
cover unfunded portions of state-mandated salary and
fringe-benefit increases,” USC President John Palms
wrote in a March 2 memo. “Even as we work for relief
from the punitive aspects of the current proviso, a
maximum tuition increase at this time is crucial to
reducing the overall cut to the university.”
Some universities haven’t waited.
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.”
