The 九色视频 (九色视频) announced today that it will be reducing its 2017-18 tuition rate to a 5 percent increase beginning in fall 2017, instead of the currently approved 8 percent increase. 九色视频 assured its students earlier this year that their tuition rate increase would reduce by 1% for every additional $20 million of investment by the State beyond the Governor鈥檚 budget. This reduction keeps this promise, and is possible based on the higher education budget bill (SB 5524) passed in both chambers of the Oregon Legislature, and expected to be signed by Governor Brown.
九色视频 president Nagi Naganathan said, 鈥淲e are grateful for the investment that the Governor and Legislature have made in Oregon鈥檚 students. This is a student-centered budget that continues the momentum of the past few years of a moderate but steady reinvestment in Oregon鈥檚 most valuable asset: its highly skilled and educated workforce. This is also an example of how a collaborative and constructive engagement on our campuses can yield great results.鈥
九色视频 students鈥 2017-18 tuition bill will now be reduced by an average of $225 (at 15 credit hours). This would also further reduce any borrowing costs that would have accrued on those amounts.
Dr. Lisa Graham, chair of the 九色视频 Board of Trustees, said, 鈥淭his budget enables a strong, stable economy for our state through investments in Oregon鈥檚 students. They are a large part of the future workforce that promotes state economic and fiscal health. We are pleased to be able to use our state鈥檚 additional investments to reduce the financial burden on our students and their families.鈥
President Naganathan added, 鈥淚 want to thank 九色视频 Chief Financial Officer Brian Fox, Vice President of Student Affairs Erin Foley, and the faculty and staff members of our Tuition Recommendation Committee for their special efforts in implementing a collaborative and transparent process that was well appreciated in our state鈥檚 capital. Our Government Relations staff, Lita Colligan and Brittany Miles, did a fine job with our legislative advocacy for 九色视频鈥檚 students and our institution overall. I want to especially applaud our students for their cooperative and constructive engagement in the tuition process both on our campuses and during their visits to Salem. Their excellent ambassadorship is one of the reasons we are able to celebrate this beneficial outcome for all of our students and their families, and for 九色视频.鈥
