Richland officials considering 3 percent tuition increase - RYAN VOYLES & DONNETTE BECKETT, Herald & Review

Richland Community College officials are considering a 3 percent tuition hike, but will likely wait to see how fall enrollment shapes up before making a final decision. A proposal to raise tuition from $133 per credit hour to $137 per credit hour for most students was tabled by the college's board of trustees this week. With two board members gone, and the possibility of increasing costs for students, board Trustee Dale Colee said Thursday it was only fair to hold off on any decision until its April 17 meeting. "We can only get our money from property taxes, tuition and the state," Colee said. "So it’s throwing more burden on those who can least afford it, the students." https://herald-review.com/news/local/education/richland-officials-considering-percent-tuition-increase/article_11c96800-5530-587e-9706-a1ba1a10d374.html
