In the commentary Higher Tuition, the writer has clearly stated the fact that ACC is going to raise the tuition by $5 per credit hour and would raising it again by the following year. The writer analyzed the outcomes of such decision and why such action would cause such outcomes. However it would be nice to see the writer to have some input about the reasons why ACC is going to raise the tuition.
I strongly agree with the author that the increase of tuition would bring more financial burden to the full time students, especially at current time. However, all we can blame on is the inflation.
I also agree with the writer’s opinion that just cutting back on expensive equipment and technology should not be the only choice.
My personal opinion, the amount of increased tuition would be $60-$75 each semester, that is how much a tank of gasoline would cost today. What ACC need to do is report the reasons of such increase and not to cut back on the hardware quality, this include keeping the qualified professor and hire suitable ones. In this way, people would still enroll in ACC, and more enrollment means more money coming in. After all, it is still way more affordable than 4-year colleges.
Increase of tuition would happen for many reasons. The writer had made a few very valid points of the consequences the increase would cause and I, again, agree.
