Howard College is being asked to tighten its belt. The good news is they say they can do it without a spike in tuition. The name of the game is cutting back for Howard College Trustees but they say students and taxpayers won't see the money coming out of their wallets. Howard College met on Monday during a workshop to get ways to reduce their budget. Howard College will be slashing their budget by an estimated $400,000 and Southwest College Institute of the Deaf or SWID will cut theirs by $114,000.
