Haina concn SARAH AY WCUss proposed tuition and fee increases released Shelby Harrell, WC Editor The cost of attending Western Carolina University would increase 4.45 percent for the 2011-12 academic year under a plan ap- proved Wednesday, Dec. 8, by the WCU Board of Trustees. Board action came during a special called meeting after trustees decided to delay a vote on the proposal during their regular quarterly -. meeting Dec. 1 to give members more time to study the issue. With the proposed charges approved by the trustees, costs to attend WCU in 2011- 12 would total $11,055 per year for a typical . N.C. undergraduate, including on-campus housing and the most-popular meal plan, an increase of $471.20 a year. The cost of tuition for an in-state un- dergraduate would be $3,048 per year, up $232.20 from the 2010-11 tuition cost of $2,815.80. The schedule of tuition and fees includes an 8.2 percent increase in campus- based tuition that would go toward im- provements in the classroom experience for students, faculty salary enhancements and need-based financial aid. None of us likes to raise tuition, particu- larly in the hard economic times we are in, when everybody is hurting, said Charles Worley, vice chair of the trustees. We know that we are facing cuts from the state. The only hope we have of maintaining the aca- demic core, or at least te the mee "Still, some students are unsurn with ihe increases. T think it is crazy. | dont esa * what they are using it for and | think they need to tell us, said junior Holly Gardner. - Also, if they are going to raise the tuition I think they need to offer more scholarships. Other students said they will have to bud- get more in order to pay to attend WCU. Tt wont affect me that much, I will just have to watch what I spend off campus, Kimberly White, a junior, said. I will have to save pore money so I can pay that extra. money. The proposed increases are still subject to approval by the University of North Caro- lina Board of Governors. Fees for the next academic year are set as early as possible to give students and their families reasonable time to prepare for the financial require- ments of attending the university. The proposed increase in campus-initiat- ed tuition includes the maximum 6.5 percent hike authorized by the Board of Governors, plus an additional $50 as part of a provision designed to enable certain UNC campuses, including WCU, to catch up to universities that were the first to implement local tuition charges. Western Carolina did not request a local tuition charge until the third year the option was made available by the Board of Governors, said Chuck Wooten, vice chan- cellor for administration and finance. As part of Wednesdays action, the trust- ees also agreed to request the Board of Gov- ernors to amend its tuition policy and extend the catch up provision beyond the four- year period spelled out in the current policy. In that case, the Board of Trustees would postpone implementation of the additional $50 tuition charge, resulting in a tuition in- crease of 6.5 percent. The move came in response to concerns expressed by Daniel Dorsey, an ex officio member of the trustees and president of the WCU Student Government Association. Student Senate is in support of a tuition increase because we understand the tough times we are in. We understand the need to protect the quality of our education and our academic core, Dorsey said. But we also think an 8.2 percent increase might be a little too much.
