past decade.
C u rre n tly , C C C charges in -s ta te
stu d e n ts $100 per c re d it. U n der
the proposed p la n , there w ill be a
three p erce n t, or $3, in crease per
credit each year for the foreseeable
fu tu re . T h is is in resp o n se to a
decrease in revenue over the last

revenue for the school. If the increase

fo u r-cre d it course w ill increase to
$412 n ext year not in c lu d in g any
