Here is a story for everyone who goes to a college or university in Kentucky. It seems like tuition is going to increase, but it will only be a small increase. But with this small increase means that community colleges may have programs cut as well. According to KCTCS President Michael McCall, "will cause the system to reduce enrollment next year from 92,000 students to 86,000 students". Also on top of that they may have to layoff some of the teachers and also cut back on some low-demand programs.
All across the state there will be increases at some of Kentucky's best schools. For the ones that go to Northern Kentucky University, they seem to be hit the hardest with a 9.68% increase. For around this region increases are pretty high as well. At University of Kentucky a 9 percent increase, Eastern Kentucky University a 7 percent increase, and at Morehead State University a 7.4 percent increase. I did a little calculating of my own account and it looks like it will be an extra $400 next year for my tuition. That is a lot of money that somehow I am going to have to pay.
