THE PRINT Vol. XXII No. 10 Wednesday, January 11,1989 Clackamas Community College Tuition increase goes before Board by Briane C. Dotson News Editor The tuition hike proposed for next year will be a topic of a board meeting which is to be held to night at 7:30 in the Board Room. Bill Ryan, administrative dean of college services and planning, says that there will be a tuition increase and it is just a question of how much. A proposal by Don Hutchison would define a full time student as one taking up to 16 credit hours rather that 19, which is currently the case. Under Hutchison’s pro posal full-time students would pay less for tuition than part-time students. “I think students will be more happy with less credit hours to have to study for,” said Ryan. Hutchison calculates that this proposal would generate more revenue than the original proposal to increase the tuition cost $10 a term. It is also thought that lower ing the full time designation to 16 hours would stop the problem of students signing up for more classes than they can handle and then having to drop some of them. It is also thought that for that reason the enrollment figures will be more accurate. Ryan has said that full-time students would face a 2.17% in crease and part-time students would face a 8.7% increase in tuition next year if this proposal is approved. “I like it,” said Ryan about the proposal. Among community colleges in the state Clackamas is eight in tuition cost. The most expensive community college is Umpqua Community College at $276 a term and the least expensive is Blue Mountain Community College at $216 a term. The reason for the increase in tuition according to Ryan is that CCC is faced with a shortage of $300,000 to 400,000 this year. As a result of this shortage the college will not be able to replace worn out equipment or buy new equip ment. Ryan feels that with the in crease in enrollment of five per cent a year the increase in tuition is justified and needed. “There has been no contro versy concerning the proposed tuition increase” said Ryan. Participation and input from students and other concerned citi zens is welcome at tonight’s meet ing of the Clackamas Board of Education.

That seven member screen ing committee was comprised of Assistant Dean of the Industrial Division Kit Youngren, Hal Bender from the classified staff, Kathy Scheer from Financial Aid, Debbie Baker from Student Ac tivities, and Mary Grout, Gladys Michael, and Marilyn Wynia from the Athletic department. If approved as Director of PE/ Health/Athletics/Community Recreation, Petersen will serve in that capacity for a 12 month pe riod beginning Jan. 12. She would earn a base salary of $41,064. Originally there were five candidates for the director’s posi tion, which was established by the resignation of Assistant Dean Bill Hargadine.

Also at tonight’s meeting, the Board will make a decision to change Fiskum’s status to physi cal education and health instruc tor, since the Community Rec reation Supervisor’s position will fall under the Director’s jurisdic tion.
