Higher Tuition At CSI…It’s Official

Tuition fees are going up again at the College of Southern Idaho.  The CSI student government representatives voted this week to pay another $5 per credit, making the tuition fee $110 per credit hour at CSI.  This increase will provide another half a million dollars to the college to help make up the a similar cut from state funding.  They also voted to return their student association fees back to the college which will amount to an additional $45,000 next year.  The vote by the student representatives was approved officially by the CSI board of trustees.  CSI officials say additional cuts will still be needed to balance the budget but the increase in fees will be a great help in reaching that goal.
