State Tuition Increase May Hurt Guilford Tech
A North Carolina bill proposing a 5 percent tuition rise at state schools would low the number of students attending GTI. Richard Benton, GTI information services director, says the hike could reduce future access while 1,700 of 2,900 curriculum students have aid and 800 use veterans benefits. He warns the rise could deter those from poorer backgrounds and noncompleting high school from starting at technical schools. Public hearings are in Raleigh with a committee vote planned Monday.
