Clatsop Community College to propose $3 tuition hike Tuition and fee revenue has dropped with enrollment - Edward Stratton, The Daily Astorian

The Clatsop Community College Board, facing lackluster enrollment and funding, will consider a $3-per-credit tuition hike next month. “None of us feel like increasing tuition is something that we want to do,” College President Christopher Breitmeyer said Tuesday. “We’d rather not do it. But we think at this time it’s necessary, given where we are in terms of the current funding that we’re experiencing.” Tuition and fee revenue is one of the largest sources of funding for the college, along with property taxes and state funding. Each $1 increase translates to about $25,000 in revenue, said JoAnn Zahn, the college’s vice president of finance and operations. http://www.dailyastorian.com/Local_News/20180321/clatsop-community-college-to-propose-3-tuition-hike
