News Editor The SGA conducted a forum Thursday to inform students at WCU about recent tuition increases at other universities in the state. The forum, which was televised by a crew from UNC-TV, included information given by Jonathan Rowe, SGA president, as well as David Chesley and Chris Ertel, SGA senators. "Out of the state budget, $530 million were allocated towards special circumstances for flood relief; this led to a decline in funding for education, such as capital improvements, faculty salaries, and financial aid," stated Chesley. Five schools in the UNC system requested tuition increases this year: UNC- Chapel Hill, East Carolina University, UNC- Wilmington, North Carolina State University, and UNC-Charlotte. The UNC system Board of Governors drew up a proposal to allow those five schools to increase their tuition over a certain period of time. Student government members from some of the other universities which did not request increases tried to submit their own proposal, but it was defeated. "This sets a bad precedent for the 16- school system. In past years, the UNC system has always raised for all the universities as a whole," said Rowe. "This would be punishment, the way I look at it, for the 11 schools that did not ask the Board of Governors for specific increases." Rowe said that he felt the requests for increases would encourage price-shopping among high school students looking for colleges, and would create major differences in quality among the state-supported universities. "Now in the years coming up, this opens the door for other institutions to ask for increases, and it really mandates for all of the universities to ask for some sort of increase, because if you don't, we're not going to get the money, we're going to go into a lower bracket," said Rowe. Senator Ertel made some suggestions as to what students can do to protest the proposal, which must go to a final vote in the North Carolina General Assembly, and encouraged students to get involved. "A lot of the universities have been talking about loading up buses on the day of the vote and traveling to Raleigh, and actually physically showing them how much this means to students, how much they do not want this increase to happen," said Ertel.
