Senate budget saves Medicaid, hurts higher education
South Carolina colleges face about 75 million in 9 percent cuts next year after the Senate spared health care and primary education. Winthrop University faces a 2.4 million cut as institutions seek replacements for state money. Senate allows higher tuition increases for schools above state average, while House cuts education by 33 million and keeps midyear reductions. A conference committee will resolve the differences.

Clemson President pledges tuition hike if state funds shrink
Clemson University President Jim Barker told trustees a 9 percent state cut could force another tuition increase after a 42 percent rise last summer. He warned the board that budget uncertainties may require higher charges, as the school aims to join the top 20 publics. Trustees will wait on final state budget before deciding. Food and parking fees rise 3.5 percent to fund dining upgrades.
