WEDNESDAY, MAY 7/2014 CCC tuition compares favorably sity m ight w ant to take note. The cost^pf tuition will go up. Tuition at Clackamas is $84 per credit hour. At th e large four-year institutions, students m ay pay m ore than double that per credit hour. This is a large jum p for m any stu dents’ budgets, and while many may not be paying straight out of pocket - taking on student loans and other support - those costs add up. These tuition costs don’t include Students face tuition increases when they transfer. by TIM YOUNG associate news e d ito r W hile alm ost every college stu dent is concerned about money, those transferring from Clackamas C om m unity College to an O regon four-year public o r private univer fees, w hich add additional cost for students. A private university edu cation is also m uch m ore expensive. A CC C student w ho transfers to George Fox University (a private college) will pay m ore th an 10 tim es the per credit h o u r cost of an education according to figures from its website. The University o f O regon is the only one o f the big three public uni versities in O regon (Portland State University, Oregon State University, University of Oregon) to increase its ■tuition over the previous year. PSU and OSU have proposed to reduce tuition, if only slightly (See graph.) W h ile th ese y ear-to -y ear increases in tuition m ay be con cerning, w hen taking a longer view tuition at the University o f Oregon, for examples has gone up 841 per cent over 30 years when adjusted for inflation betw een 1979 an d 2009. In 2014, tuition at th e university is closer to 9 tim es as expensive as it was 30-35 years ago. The Oregon Student Association is keen to p o in t o ut the long term disinvestm ent in post secondary education by th e state govern m ent in Oregon. “W hen looking at tuition it is im portant to look at the trend, there h as been a disinvest m ent. Part o f th e w ork th at we are doing is tó reverse th at trend,” said Daniel McCall, OSA spokesperson. The long term disinvestm ent in higher education has a maybe not-so-obvious im p act o n how m uch students are charged m fees a n d ‘tu itio n . The CC C b oard o f education voted n o t to raise tuition for th e 2014-2015 school year. The b o ard is taking advantage o f a “tuition freeze” th at the legislature approved for com m unity colleges statewide. In thinking about the next biennium after the one-tim e tuition freeze m oney is gone, the legislature could be just pushing Cpste off onto the next group o f state leaders. T h e ap p ro ach tak in g in to account the one-tim e m oney from the legislature to freeze tuition is “m ore o f a tuition binge, rather th an a tuition freeze,” said John W ykoff, O reg o n C o m m u n ity College A ssociation spokesper son. Essentially costs incurred this year m ay be rolled into a higher possible tuition increase the next tim e around due to the way the leg islature funded the “tuition freeze”. Nonetheless, grateful-CCC stu dents will enjoy a year w ithout a tuition increase. Will student enjoy the same stable cp§t structure next year? “No,” according to Jim Huckestein, vice president for col- lege services. —■ • The Clackamas Print Is seeking editor applicants for Fall 2014.
