| Regents increase in-state tuition - Reno Gazette Posted: 17 Apr 2010 01:35 AM PDT In-state tuition will go up next fall at Nevada's colleges and universities, but students got a break Friday when the Board of Regents opted for the lower of two cost-increase proposals. The regents voted to raise tuition from 9.5 percent at community colleges to 9.8 percent at the state's two universities. Those increases include making permanent the current student surcharges that were scheduled to end next year. The other proposal, recommended by Reno Regent Jason Geddes, would have added 7.5 percent in 2011-12 and again in 2012-13 above the tuition costs approved by the board. Geddes said higher education would benefit by significantly raising tuition rather than continually going to the Legislature asking for state funds to backfill its budget. "I don't feel comfortable going to the Legislature in 2011 and saying, 'We're counting on you to solve our problem," he said. "I think we need to step up, and we have the opportunity to do so, and that's why I am proposing this increase." The 2007 Legislature agreed for the first time to allow each of the colleges and universities to keep most of the money generated by tuition increases to use on their campuses. Nevada's public higher education system traditionally has attempted to keep its costs among the lowest in the Western region. However, in recent months, the regents have agreed to move away from that low-cost tuition model while setting aside more money to aid low-income students. Board Chairman James Dean Leavitt said he is concerned about the tremendous cost increases students have seen over the years and the impact on their access to a college education. By voting for the lower tuition increase, Leavitt said, "We at least are doing something in small part to stay true to our student access mission. I think we lose a bit of leverage with the Legislature, but I am more concerned than ever over the access issue." Las Vegas Regent Michael Wixom said he also struggled with the tuition increase proposals and asked how much tuition has gone up. Chancellor Dan Klaich said basic in-state tuition has increased by about 40 percent in the past five years. Wixom said voting for Geddes' higher tuition plan might be premature. "Should we have a discussion with the Legislature as part of this process?" he said. "The fact that we adopt this (lower tuition) option doesn't bind us, but (Geddes') option takes away our flexibility because we don't know what the legislative response will be next year. I don't think we will be in a happy place, but will it limit our flexibility?" Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |
| Vietnam school quality lags as quantity soars - Thanhnien Posted: 17 Apr 2010 02:33 AM PDT The number of new universities and colleges in Vietnam has surged over the last few years, but most of the new institutions offer sub-par educations, according to a report conducted by the National Assembly Standing Committee. The report said 312 new colleges and universities were established or upgraded from college to university between 1998 and 2009. Many of the new schools have enrolled large numbers of students but they are not capable of providing quality educations, said the report released at a National Assembly Standing Committee meeting Thursday. Dao Trong Thi, chairman of the Committee for Culture, Education, Youth and Children, said an inspection of 51 post-secondary institutions in the past five years found that new universities and colleges have been established carelessly. Many do not have sufficient facilities or good teachers, and they do not provide good educations, he said, noting that the problems were more prominent at private schools and schools outside big cities. National Assembly Office chairman Tran Dinh Dan said it had become simple and easy to open a new college or university in Vietnam and the Ministry of Education and Training should take responsibility for the problem. Dan also criticized the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs for making it too easy for vocational colleges to be upgraded into universities. "We have given free rein to the excessive establishment of schools. There are teachers who may not be good but can still become high-level administrators at colleges." He said the government should consider setting up a new agency to administer all post-secondary schools in the country. Low quality training at universities and colleges has also been encouraged by state-owned companies that have not hesitated to recruit students with bad marks, Dang Vu Minh, chairman of the Science, Technology and Environment Committee, was quoted by local news website VnExpress as saying at the meeting. "If recruitment is done properly and only good candidates are accepted, bad schools that fail to secure jobs for their students will have to close in just a few years."
