TUITION from page 1 “Those are the ones who are our direct competition,” said Mr. Mi chael Head, associate director for admissions. However, with the entire UNC System’s budget being cut by the state, most universities in North Carolina will have to raise tuition and fees to cover the grow ing costs. While the health services fee is being increased due to the increase in insurance and to provide some free medications for students, the other fee increases were suggested by their respective organizations. The department of athletics is asking for a one hundred dollar increase in order to provide better up keep to athletic equipment and facilities, and assist with finances when traveling. The increase will allow the department to offer more athletic scholarships (need based only), as well as providing more money to coaches so they can ad equately feed their athletes dur ing away games. Currently FSU coaches are allotted $24, per athlete per day for food. Athletics feels this isn’t enough to sufficiently feed the athletes who participate in rigorous activity for several hours. Another proposed increase is for the Board Meal Plan. The proposal amounts to a 12.8 percent increase, which some students disagree with. Student Government Associa tion treasurer, Jermaine Coble felt this would be an increase students wouldn’t take to lightly as they are already not satisfied with the cur rent food service. However, a representative from the food services said the increases will go to improving food services, as well as help pay for the rising cost of food. By raising the cost of tuition, the university is hoping to bring back some of the programs and courses that were not offered this semes ter. Around 65 class sections are expected to return by spring 2013, commented Provost Jon Young. Though the exact and immedi ate changes due to the proposed increase cannot be determined at this time, the proposed increase is seen as a necessary change in order for the university to remain com petitive with the other UNC system universities. The committee’s first order of business was to schedule dates for open forums for students to come out and voice their questions, opin ions and concerns before a panel of committee members. The committees’ biggest concern is how the students will accept an increase in tuition, especially dur ing an aheady hard economic time. One of the biggest concerns is whether or not they should raise tu ition for out-of-state students. Out-of-state students already pay as much as three times as much when compared to in-state students. The problem is if FSU raises tuition so high that it may deter out-of- state students fi'om enrolling. Mr. Head, commented that when recruiting out-of-state, one of the biggest selling points is the bottom line number. FSU’s current prices make the university competitive. There were three open forums scheduled for students to come out and voice their opinions about the proposed tuition increases. The last open forum is scheduled for tomor row 2 p.m. at the Shaw Auditorium. The state has announced that they are waiving the price cap on how much colleges and universities are allowed to increase tuition for the next few years. In order to help schools save money, members of the state committee have suggested schools place a cap on staff and fac ulty salaries as well as lowering the amount of in-state scholarships, ac cording to Carolina News 14.
