The Voice Of The Campus Since 1914 FINANCES Tuition Increase of 4%, Room and Board Increase of 2% Lowest in Ten Years by JANINE LEIGH KRAMER QC Editor-in-Chief "The concerns of students and parents about the price ofWhittier College were heard, which is why the increases in tuition and room and board are less than anyone's definition of inflation," said Vice President for Business and Finance Harold Hewitt. "Rather than attempting to finance the campus by jacking up tuition, those who pay were listened to." The increases of 4% in tuition price and 2% in room and board costs were officially announced in a letter from President James Ash sent to Whittier College students on Monday. This is exactly two months after the decision of the increase was made at a Board of Trustees meeting. The estimated additional revenue from the increases is approximately $485,000. However, part of this money will need to absorb $185,000 from increases in sports budgets off the business cycle last year which were for football and Chapter IX, which requires additional support for women's teams. "The increase is intentionally constrained and we (the College) will live within that," said Hewitt. There are other concerns for where money should be spent in the 1995-96 budget. "Operating budgets and library acquisitions remain low and need to be addressed. Administrative budgets which were increased may need to be decreased," said Hewitt. "There is a significant issue to be dealt with in the fair and proper treatment of employees," said Hewitt. A 3% raise for College employees would cost approximately $500,000. "A high priority is: Will employees have a raise next year? It has not been decided yet, as discussion is not over.
