College fees to jump 5 percent - Chris Cassidy, Salem News

The cost to attend Salem State College will climb by more than 5 percent next year, after trustees approved an increase to student fees last night. Citing cuts to state funding as well as ballooning salaries and benefits, college trustees hiked the total cost of in-state undergraduate enrollment to $7,230 a year. It marks the ninth consecutive year that an education at Salem State will cost more than the year before.
