The cost of a diploma Tuition will increase every year; but how can Grand Valley prepare itself so it will not need to hike it by an astronomical amount to cover shortcomings? T—■ GVL I QUESTION OF THE WEEK Central Michigan University’s 28 percent tuition hike has created a ruckus across campuses and in government. Lt. This week the Grand Valley Lanthorn asked six community members: Gov. Dick Posthumus was outraged, and he has urged legis­ lators to pass an amendment that would withdraw a portion How much did you sound on - of any university’s funding that increases tuition above the rate of inflation. The money would then be given to uni­ textbooks this semesterP versities that kept increases within the limits.

But that would do little to solve Grand Valley’s chronic underfunding. With university officials bracing for budget cuts while not even hoping for any increase, it is inevitable that tuition is going to be raised by a substantial amount. If the university ends up overbudget for this fiscal year, offi­ cials have to find a way to make up for the loss. So while the notion of sticking to increases that match inflation is ideal, it is not logical. The university will likely need to cover far more expenses than those caused by inflation. JjL And the only way to do so is to raise tuition enough to "I spent $400 first semester "I spent $138, although it’s "I spent almost $200, but I,, and $325 this semester. Its usually been more.

Sophomore Megan Staples Creative Writing Freshman worse off than they would be without it. Sally Tarmnel Theater Sophomore Last year’s tuition increased by 9 percent, which turned out Health Science to be about $200 a semester. That is not a lot to pay, and GVSU’s tuition overall is still fairly cheap. But administra­ tors do need to start looking for a better solution for future stability. The Board of Trustees mentioned in August that they would consider capping enrollment next fall. That would be a good place to start. At least it would even out per-student funding instead of spreading it thinly over a growing number of students.
