Editorial: Now is the time to disrupt status quo
Apr. 19, 2014We kick off the first day of our last week of newspapers for the semester with a front-page story about another potential tuition increase. The Budget Planning Council recommended to Ohio University President Roderick McDavis that the tuition rate get bumped up 1.5 percent to about $10,535 per year for an Athens campus undergrad. McDavis will probably agree with the BPC, as he usually does, and take the motion to the Board of Trustees for a vote. Normally, the meeting when the trustees vote on tuition takes place before the end of the semester, but this time the board decided to push that meeting back to June and moved it to St. Clairsville. By then, most students will be out of the loop and, most likely, unable to attend.
