Community Colleges See Slight Funding Increase

Community College in Oregon did get a bit of good news coming out of the state’s legislative session.  After initially expecting to be flat funded, Columbia Gorge Community College President Marta Yera-Cronin says they received a bit more than expected, but still well under what the institutions sought.  Yera-Cronin says CGCC is having to raise tuition by $5 per credit.  She adds the school has historically tried to pick up the losses from the state without passing it on to students, but there reaches a point where they have to increase tuition.
