tuition hike

Preparing the university's budget for the 1997/98
academic year should be an easier process than preparing the budget for the current academic year.
"At this time last year, we were talking about a
$900,000 expenditure reduction. We're not talking
about that this year," says Presiden tjessica Kozloff. "We
don't expect to have to ask to take back funds from
departments."

That doesn 't mean that preparing this budget won't
be without many challenges.
The $63.2 million budget scenario is built on two
assumptions. 1 ) That the state appropriation for the
State System will increase by 2% as Gov. Tom Ridge has
recommended. 2) That the Board of Governors will
approve a 3% tuition increase. If approved, the tuition

would cost in-state students $101 a year.
