Chris Tully

Inflation in March will probably be lower because school tuition won't be in the mix. (The car fuel) ethanol could be a factor but March is traditionally low for inflation, so I see a result of about 0.3 percent.

Jason Vieira

In this context, it is outrageous that the Ontario government is preparing to increase college tuition fees next September. Why should Ontario families keep paying higher and higher fees for less and less quality?

Jesse Greener

There's not enough money. It's unlikely that anyone who paid tuition will receive anything back.

Mark Brenner

Scholarships are important to students for two reasons: They help defray the costs of tuition and they allow students a reward for their hard work and dedication to education.

Bill Burton

A scholarship for one student at Africa University covers tuition, housing, meals and medical care at a cost of $5,200. Support from donors can make such a difference in the lives of young African men and women.

James Salley

When we raise tuition five or three dollars a credit or when books go up, for many of these students this is the difference between their being able to go to school and not go to school.

Steve Rose

That's on everything from music to college tuition.

Don Montuori

How these next several months play out will determine whether or not these institutions make it or not. The most sensitive question is whether or not they can keep their students, because these institutions are so tuition-driven.

David Warren

In-state tuition is a benefit for citizens. These students would be getting a taxpayer benefit at the expense of citizens.

Susan Tully

With this proposed appropriation falling significantly short of the funds requested to support a tuition freeze by Penn State at 20 of its undergraduate campuses, that idea will need to be abandoned. The tuition freeze proposal was approved by Penn State's Board of Trustees during their September, 2005, meeting, dependent on a 9.5 percent increase in state appropriation.

Bill Mahon

You'll see that the difference between what the school pays and tuition can vary dramatically.

Jamie Koch

If we have children that are illegal immigrants that have been through middle school and high school, played by the rules and made good grades, they should be able to pay in-state tuition. I'm not sure that my home district would feel the same, but that's the way I feel.

Allan Bense

It's amazing in the short term. While in other provinces tuition might be going up, here ours will be staying still while the quality of education will not be affected.

Victor Thomas

We understand that high education institutions in Ohio are among the best in the country, but if the State continues to avoid funding increases, tuition will continue to rise and that quality of education will some begin decreasing.

Rod Hissong

If you are using a professional to have your taxes prepared and something comes up in the interviewing process, you'll need time to go back and find that information. Inevitably you forget something. Maybe you brought the wrong property tax bill, or didn't get tuition for your children's education all gathered today.

Cindy Frailing

We looked at a budget with the same number of students we had last year, 66, but we would have had to raise tuition an unreasonable amount. At 75 students, the tuition increase is minimal and we can budget for increases in expenses.

Rev. Kirby Hlavaty

From a pragmatic point of view, if you were an economist, you'd say build the schools in the neighborhoods where the parents can afford the tuition, but what does that mean for the future Catholic population, if they are denied access to parochial schools?

Thomas O'connor

We are not giving out free tuition. Providence's tuition will be close to $7,000 next year. We need every penny of it.

Matt Senffner

There is a lot that has to be paid for with tuition. Tuition is up, but we offer a hundred percent if need is met.

Yvonne Hubbard

College Illinois! is comparable to an insurance policy because it provides families with protection from tuition inflation. Many of the families who participate in the plan enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing annual tuition hikes will no longer affect their children's chance at a successful future.

Randy Erford

Tuition is expensive already. I don't see a reason to increase it.

Marquette College

I am running for SGA president because I'd like to see something different on this campus. We're a small school, and we should have lower tuition. I want to affect change on campus and work for unity between the different campus organizations.

Ryan Cooper

The pocketbook issues like tuition and fees are decided at the state level, but a lot of the day-to-day things are at the city level.

Joanne Miller

I think you get to a point where, no matter how committed you might be to providing your kids with a Catholic education, you just can't afford it if the tuition gets too high.

Nancy Hart

If a student has already paid tuition for his or her university, that's it, we don't take any money.

Johns Hopkins

You must be doing and trying, but make sure your mistakes are affordable mistakes ? more like tuition.

James Chu

I always thought the financial aid treatment was the biggest problem with prepaid tuition plans. This change will make them more attractive. It's a good vehicle to hedge against tuition inflation.

Joe Hurley

We were very optimistic with this government because they did announce they would be freezing tuition fees for at least two years. They led us to believe that there would be a genuine consultation on the future of tuition fees.

Pam Frache

She ended up with a full tuition scholarship. So, her mom and I will be paying for essentially room and board and that's it.

Jeff Shigeno

It's just costing more and more to get a college education. Increases in tuition and fees have been higher than inflation ... and we're not seeing financial aid from the government at all.

Rose Garr

We will have tuition increases over time. There is no commitment to any particular level. We will in part respond to the realities of the marketplace.

Joel Seligman

The expenditure formula reflects both regular and special education costs, excluding tuition and assessment costs associated with educating students out of district. It should also exclude land, buildings, capital reserve and debt service.

Allen Fossbender

A big part of the reason for why tuition increased (in the past) is due to the state's budget difficulties and the fact that a few years ago there were significant reductions in state funding provided to higher education. Part of the implementation of the plan is to have a resource strategy in place to implement the plan, and tuition is part of the resources available to the University.

Daniel Layzell

Tuition at our institutions of higher learning is slowly but surely being priced out of reach for middle class families.

Jodi Rell

I appreciate everyone's morality and religious views. But my tuition goes to a public university. I go to a public university, so I encourage those who are offended or questioning my intentions to come out and see what it's all about.

Liz Gordon

We're trying to provide an option that we would lock in their tuition and fee rate for four years and this way they know exactly what they're paying for four years. It's a way to get students to commit to a four-year financial package.

Richard Adauto

Increased base funding is the best way to avoid high tuition increases.

Russ Mckinney

Physicians are no different than you or me. They have a mortgage payment. They have tuition payments, ... They are still here on their own good will, but they are not getting paid for it.

Mark Peters

But raising tuition has a negative impact on enrollment. It's a delicate business issue, in addition to the politics and student welfare.

Provost Hobson Wildenthal

Students are the stockholders in the university system and deserve to have their vote count on issues such as taxes on textbooks, tuition increases and funding for different universities.

James Touchton

The tuition follows the student.

William Maestri

The maximum contribution remains at $4,000. Therefore the Pell Grant covers a smaller and smaller portion of students' total tuition costs.

Sandy Baum

Laotian students are treated equally to other Chinese students - we pay the same tuition fees as the Chinese and can also be granted scholarships if we outperform others in our studies.

Dongling Yang

The board takes its deliberations regarding tuition very seriously. Although we regret having to raise tuition, it is necessary in order to meet rising costs and to address quality issues.

Aubrey Patterson

There are a lot of things that need to be taken care of over there that our tuition and things do not cover.

Katie Jones

Nobody can say with a straight face that tuition-tax credits are actually a response to the court's orders in Flores. That's somebody else's political agenda. It's not going to help these kids. I'm not aware of any private school that has English-language learner programs in place anyway.

Tim Hogan

We will not be able to freeze tuition for undergraduate students in 2006 with a state appropriation that looks like it might be near the same level we received five years ago. The increase in inflation and other costs over the past five years will have to be supported by more internal belt-tightening and our only other main income stream -- tuition.

Bill Mahon

We never receive any formal funding for infrastructure. That's why the lack of tuition revenue bonds has been so painful. In the end we were just begging for money to repair the infrastructure.

Provost Hobson Wildenthal

You'll see tuition skyrocket, there's no doubt about it.

Brad Young

The process of arriving at the tuition was different this year.... The conclusion was that ... there wasn't a good way to avoid getting near the tuition cap this year.

Greg Hand

Scholarships are imperative for today's students in higher education. A $1,000 scholarship pays for tuition and books for one student for one semester.

Cary Israel

The top priority of course will be to put a budget together this year that ensures quality but lives within the limited tuition guidelines that we've got.

Hank Brown

Our students just got hit with an 18.5 percent increase in tuition, and now gas prices are causing a crisis. We are going to lose students on the edge. They cannot deal with all these increases all at once.

Richard Bernstein

Some students got four-year scholarships and others got full tuition scholarships.

Joseph Hall

We're not running an inexpensive program. We try to keep our tuition at as reasonable a level as we can. We try to have diversity.

Theresa Mcmanaman

These on-campus jobs are very low paid. It is literally impossible to support yourself and pay tuition from work that you can legally do here.

Robin Miller

That's the new fad this year, to not announce tuition until later.

Tim Reilly

If our tuition is what it is, and it's too high, then obviously, they have ample time to decide to go someplace else.

William Elliott

We say we give free tuition. When people really look at it ... it ain't that much.

Stephen Tocco

We see the strike and the tuition fee increase as two sides of the same coin. There aren't enough resources in the system to prevent these problems.

Jesse Greener

When we set our tuition for next year, part of what we're dealing with is kind of a catch-up on utility costs.

David Rector

When state funding goes up, tuition increases go down. States are putting more money back into higher education. We don't know how long that's going to last.

Travis Reindl

I believe you start by freezing tuition as best we can. We've done some serious damage and it's not going to be turned around in a year or even five years.

Michael Blouin

For most colleges and universities, tuition is the largest share of revenue. If you're getting 80 percent of your revenue from tuition and you lose half your students, you're facing enormous difficulties.

Terry W. Hartle

I did see some things that were missing in this throne speech. I didn't hear anything about health care, probably the number one issue that I heard in my travels around the province. I didn't hear anything about affordability for tuition for students in this throne speech.

Carole James

When people make a gift to us or pay us their tuition, or when tax dollars are appropriated to us, those who pay that money or give us that donation can rest assured that this institution is going to do everything it can to make sure their dollars will accomplish what they intended for them to accomplish -- and nothing else.

Leonard Sandridge

Generally speaking, after 9/11 there was a downward trend in international student numbers. Some international students found it harder to get a visa. At the same time, we had radically rising costs (in tuition).

Joe Marshall

Tuition fees are the biggest change British universities have had in years.

Chris Madden

I hope other universities will do this. Especially with tuition fees there's a feeling that when you leave university you have to be employable now. There's a real drive for students to differentiate themselves.

Felix Cohen

A prepaid tuition plan is attractive to a family that just wants to make sure they've paid for the future tuition at a public university and they don't want to worry about which direction the markets are going.

Joseph Hurley

The best math lesson we can teach college students this year is to subtract a tuition increase and benefit from the dividends of higher education.

Jodi Rell

We have had a quarter century of tuition going up faster than family income. And we've had completely inadequate increases in the Pell grant. Many states and institutions are shifting from need-based aid to aid based on test scores. At the same time, college has become much more essential for achieving middle-class status in the U.S.

Gary Orfield

The exclusion of same-sex domestic partners from this program [tuition reduction] is detrimental to the university's ability to attract and retain the most qualified employees without regard to their household arrangements, and is inequitable to employees who cannot marry their domestic partners.

Peter Likins

Even in the face of continued good news, Kerry clings to his message of gloom and doom, supporting it with twisted statistics. Kerry's complaints about a middle class squeeze are out of touch with the reality that home sales hit a record high last month, college tuition increases slowed and consumer confidence is rising.

Steve Schmidt

The parish can no longer sustain the gap between tuition and the cost of education with so few students.

Marianna Thompson

With tuition increases, students from the lower two-fifths of the income level are coming to university schools with less frequency. For this state to be competitive, we need our kids to get degrees.

Doug Bradley

If we tried to register for next year with a significant tuition increase, we would not have enough students to even open the school.

Robert Paserba

It's a great blessing. It's the thing that has allowed us to keep tuition at a level that's highly accessible.

Tim Dunn

We feel the best way to guard against high tuition increases is through restoring our base state funding.

Russ Mckinney

Tuition is the last place we'll go. It's inevitable that it will go up some. The question is, how much?

Donald Farish

The idea is that students who prepare themselves academically in high school will be assured tuition and fees will be paid for them at the community college level.

Wendy Thompson

One of the problems we've experienced is dealing with parents who want to start paying for their child's education when they're juniors and seniors in high school. The College Board has tried to develop, through our web site, extensive planning tools such as a free scholarship locator and current college tuition costs.

Jack Joyce

None of us like to raise tuition rates. But public funding on a per-student, inflation-adjusted basis has continually declined over the past 15 years.

James Huffines

We were not going to put a surcharge on tuition or charge a student fee. We either raise it or we don't build it.

Rob Mullen

Students who cannot afford college tuition on their own probably can't afford private drug programs.

Tom Angell

[The athletic department gives] tuition aid to student athletes. If they are on a computer, they should be doing homework and studying.

John Planek

It was the finest piece of legislation ever passed. Just in income taxes alone, the government got back several times over what it had spent on college tuition.

Anthony Stasio

Studying is something I really love doing, and I just hope to have enough money for tuition.

Alexandra Kosteniuk

Every year tuition is reviewed and if tuition goes up, it is usually due to rising costs and general raises due to inflation.

Cathy Andreen

It?s very dismal. Nationwide, federal grants haven?t kept pace with tuition, so students have to borrow more. Loan indebtedness is soaring.

Debbie Beck

A little over $40,000, when you think about both tuition, as well as room and board and student fees, is so expensive. However, the good part of that story, especially for Bates, is that average freshman aid packages total up to about $21,000 per student coming in as a first year. And again, that's not a loan that a student is forced to take out, that is grant aid given out from the university.

Robert Franek

If the Army helped towards my tuition fees I would then give them four years of my life.

James Blunt

It isn't realistic in this province to think that tuition is going to be frozen indefinitely. It doesn't make sense.

Bob Rae

There are several major flaws in the proposal being introduced today. The notion of using gambling proceeds to help with college tuition reminds us of the promises made by the Ohio Lottery. Gambling didn't save public schools. It won't create great opportunities for colleges, either.

David Zanotti

Tuition, housing fees, even textbook costs are difficult to meet these days. Why Congress feels the need to cut student loans and drag our faces in the mud, I do not know.

Ben Phillips

If you have to take out of an account for down payment on a house or car or child college tuition, remember that you took it out, and when you're at a point you can put it back in, you'll want to catch yourself back up.

Claire Saunders

Tuition is student money, and students expect increased benefits from increased tuition.

Erin Hertzog

If (the student center) gets used a lot, I can see it potentially being worthwhile. I just wish it didn't have to get done by raising our tuition.

Eric Haaland

Every time we raise federal spending, universities go ahead and raise tuition. Are the students ever going to get ahead?

Erik Iverson

For a small usage fee, we have all these rooms (four rooms, plus bathrooms and chapel), and Jeff Jackson (a teacher and the son of Doris and Elmer Jackson) takes the kids to play basketball. But I tell the children to find their own sport because at $200 a month (for tuition), we cannot do it all for them.

Elmer Jackson

What she's done so far won't even put a dent in the cost of tuition there.

Elizabeth Stoneberg

It was upsetting. My third child was just getting out of high school, and we were looking at college tuition. My wife was devastated. It really hit her hard.

Edwin Welsh

Undergraduate non-resident students are getting hit particularly hard. I wouldn't want to see students have to leave ASU because tuition is too much.

Ed Hermes

I think the tuition can be easily justified. It's a very responsible increase for higher education to ask for. It's not a bank buster.

Earle Holley

Tuition fees are too high.

Zhou Hongyu
