The Central Wyoming College Board of Trustees says it favors a 5% tuition increase for community college students next year. CWC President Jo Anne McFarland asked for board member feedback this week in preparation for a Wyoming Community College Commission phone conference scheduled for Dec. 19 to discuss tuition rates for the 2013-14 school year. McFarland argues the tuition increase is needed to continue to provide high-quality education, and she notes tuition rates in Wyoming are low compared to surrounding states. At CWC, a 5% increase would amount to an extra $4 per credit, or $48 per semester for students with a full course load. Board chair Charlie Krebs and trustee Scott Phister say the tuition hike would be manageable for students.
