Nonresident student fee increase considered

By Daniel Oliveira

The California State University system is considering a 15 percent nonresident student fee increase, said CSU system Vice Chancellor Richard West.

The increase would bring annual revenues of approximately $10 million to the CSU system, West said at the Board of Trustees meeting Sept. 15.

Cal State Long Beach President Robert Maxson said student fees should be increased only if ěthere is an absolute need for that money that in some way will go back to help students."

Maxson said no final decision has been made as the CSU system is still considering the fee increase.

But he said his position is to keep student fees as low as possible.

"We do not want the fees to keep a single qualified student in California from getting a good education," Maxson said.

CSU nonresident fees are about 10 percent below the average for comparable institutions, according to information provided by the Chancellorís Office.
