State budget problems hurt colleges across the country
The Associated Press
State budget problems are leading to more crowded classes, fewer teachers and higher tuition at many of the universities across country.
"We're in a situation that's deteriorating very rapidly," said Richard Novak, director of state education policy and finance of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. "What's happening in Northeastern and Midwestern states is spreading.
... They are facing sharp cuts that will have untold impact on those institutions."
The Florida Board of Regents
Examples found in an Associated Press survey included:
* Tuition at financially pressed New Jersey's nine state colleges rose 9.6 percent to 19.4 percent this fall.
has told the state's nine universities to come up with $49 million in cuts to help make up for a $521 million shortfall. The possibilities include eliminating the first summer school term.
■ Rhode Island's three major state schools received $2.2 million less than they did last year because of state budget problems, and nearly $160 million to $2,046 for in-state students and $6,550 for out-of-states.
In a few states, like New Jersey, students are being hit this fall with double-digit tuition increases that campusases from the early 1980s.
With state financing in Louisiana up more than 11 percent, tuition at Southern University didn't increase at all this fall.
But schools in at least 15 states, most of them on the East Coast and Midwest where state financial problems are most severe, are operating on restricted budgets that have led to program cuts, fewer and more crowded classes, and reductions in faculty positions.
Public campuses in Iowa, Louisiana, Utah, Idaho, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona are enjoying increased state appropriations and relatively modest tuition increases.
■ The City University of New York, faced with $42 million in budget cuts, is tightening enrollment procedures, canceling 2,000 classes, dropping 670 adjunct teachers and cutting library hours. This year the state reduced its tuition by $18 million to college colleges by $29 million, and the city pared its contribution to the community colleges by $13 million.
■ After three years of sharp financing increases, Maryland Gov. William Donald Schaefer has asked that higher education funds be cut $41 million during the current fiscal year because of a $150 million shortfall in state revenue.
■ Students staged a "Save UNC" rally this day at the University of North Carolina to protest cuts that have fewer classes and students sitting on the floor in others.
Appropriations at the University of Iowa are up 9.6 percent; tuition rose 3 percent.
The average around the country this fall was an increase of 7 percent, according to a College Board survey released last week.
The picture isn't gloomy everywhere.

On Oct. 2, 1950, "Peanuts" made its debut in seven newspapers. Today, the strip runs in 2,300 newspapers and reaches more than 200 million readers a day in 68 countries. The Peanuts gang speaks Chinese, Serbo-Croatian and many other languages.

Because of a reporter's error, a statement by Kurt Davis was incorrectly reported in a Page 3 story in Friday's Kansas. Davis said two peer institutions, not two Regents institutions, already had a 100 per cent faculty director for graduate teaching assistants and graduate research assistants.
