Tuition Boost Seen by Critic As a Penalty
HARIFORD UP I A. The chair of the Keep Tuition Down committee accuses the governor and legislature of using tuition hikes as punishment for students. James Dyer, a Western Connecticut State College student and trustee, says state colleges are strong and that the raise targets peaceful campuses rather than reform. He suggests a graduated tuition based on family income as a fair solution, with others paying more if able. The state recently set $150 in-state, $880 out-of-state tuition at the University of Connecticut and $201 at state colleges, $300 at technical schools.
