The increases will be felt by all students attending the univer- sity and will be spread throughout the various charges and fees that make up the total cost of attendance. From Oct. 24-26, three open forums were held in the University Center Theatre to inform students and faculty.of the. impending changes and to elicit feedback on the proposed changes. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Dr. Sam Miller presented the plan to the attendees. Proposed among the increases is a 6.5 per- cent increase in tuition, an increase of $194 for North Carolina undergraduates per year, as well as a 6.5 percent increase for North Caro- lina graduate students, for an increase of $217 per year. Instead of applying the same percent- age increase to out of state students who pay much higher tuition, WCU will continue. its longstanding policy of increasing out of state tuition the same dollar amount as in-state in- creases. Miller stressed in the forum that in light of the recent state funding cuts across the UNC system, tuition will likely increase more than Tyler Auffhammer, Staff Writer Flu season is beginning to rear its ugly head in the Whee, and many students have already '. felt the nasty effects of its potent virus. ' Western Carolina Universitys Health Cen- ter, headed up by Director Pam Buchanan, has - already taken preventative measures by stock- ing up on flu shots in hopes of routing the dis- ease once it begins making its rounds through the residence halls. - Buchanan said there is many ways to pre- vent getting the flu. Vaccination is one of the easiest ways to prevent getting the flu and spreading the flu vi- rus, she said. Flu shots are available on campus and pro- tect against several strains of flu, including typ- NAME: ADDRESS: CITY: STATE: PHONE: ay percent. For many years, a 6.5 percent in-_. crease has been the maximum increase allowed by the Board of Governors, but Miller believes that the Board of Governors will recommend a more substantial increase to make up for the disparity in state funding. Mandatory fees will increase in some areas as well, with the Education and Technology fee having a proposed increase of 31.8 percent, from $387 to $510 per year. Miller says that extraordinary cuts in state funding totaling some 13-16 percent necessitate the increase in the Education and Technology fee. He stated that these increases will help protect the aca- demic core of the institution. The only other increase in the mandatory fees category is in the transportation fee, with a proposed increase from $64 to $80 per year to help fund extended CatTran service from the main campus to the.new Health and Human Sciences building across Highway 107. The remaining twelve categories under mandatory fees are proposed to remain the same during the 2012 academic year as they were during the 2011 year. Residential living costs will increase as well, with a 4.5 percent increase in costs for each ie with the exception of The Vil- ical seasonal flu and H1N1, commonly known : as Swine Flu. Buchanans urging for students to receive the vaccine follows in line with Health Servic- es observation of the Center for Disease Con- trols three-step approach to the flu. Directly from the CDCs website is the first step: obtaining a flu vaccination each year. While some people may decide to opt out of the flu shot, the CDC recommends the vac- cine because influenza is easier to prevent than to treat. Prescription antiviral drugs are available for those who contract the virus. The elderly, the very young, those with chronic health condi- tions, and pregnant women should all be treat- d immediately to prevent further complica- tions, according to the CDC.
