Tuition Costs a Concern for SCC President
One of Governor Dave Heineman’s budget initiatives this session is increasing state aid to the University of Nebraska and state college system to bring about a two-year tuition freeze.
Jack Huck, the president of Southeast Community College, says they’re working to accomplish that same goal. (play audio :09)
Huck says the school is always looking at possibly freezing tuition. He says hell take a careful look at what the governor is proposing. (play audio :09)
Huck says the high cost of higher education is a major concern. (play audio :25)
A report to the SCC Board of Governors on Tuesday showed the college received about 16-point-8 million dollars in tuition revenue through the first half of the current fiscal year. That’s more than seven-percent below the projection in the college’s budget.
Southeast has three campuses, in Lincoln, Beatrice and Milford, along with more than 20 off-campus sites in 15 counties.
