While there will be a bump in tuition, the college anticipated fewer full- and part-time students - down 4 percent from last year. Dupee says there are reasons for it. “You can make $16, $17 an hour coming out of high school now so that amount of students that will actually come to college changes so we have got a lesser amount,” he said. With fewer students, there are fewer classes and instructors. Since 2020, the college has cut 38 positions, mostly through attrition. In this year’s proposed budget, the college will save almost $2 million in personnel costs.
