State Budget Pressures Could Limit TEC Enrollments in 1976 77
Aiken TEC Director Ashley J. Little says enrollment will likely be capped at current levels despite a statewide budget boost. The TEC Board in Columbia planned a 299000 increase, but due to a four percent cost of living rise and an eight percent cut last year, TEC must find 600000 to maintain current services. Aiken TEC aims for a 3.7 million bond referendum for more space, with funding split 70 percent state, 15 percent county, and 15 percent student fees.
