Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU), the public higher education system, is seeking a tuition hike spread across a two-year time frame.
“For community colleges, this represents an increase of approximately $50 per semester and $200 per semester for the universities and $150 at Charter Oak for the next two years,” said Ojakian in a press statement. “This does not close our deficit and we would never look to tuition to do so. If we did, we would have to raise it by double-digits and that”™s not an option we”™d be willing to consider. I want to deliver on my promise to keep our schools affordable and not further burden our hard working students.”
The CSCU will vote on the proposed increases on April 6.
