WV students worry about proposed budget cuts - Whitney Burdette, State Journal

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's request that state agencies, including the higher education system, cut 7.5 percent of their budgets has some college students worried they may pay the price. Adam Fridley, who serves as the chief of staff of Marshall University's Student Government Association and chairman of the Higher Education Policy Commission's Advisory Council of Students, told a legislative interim committee Jan. 7 that the cost of higher education keeps increasing. That, on top of the governor's budget cuts, could result in fewer students enrolling in colleges because they can't afford it. http://www.statejournal.com/story/20524406/wv-students-worry-about-proposed-budget-cuts
