Editorial: College costs climbing to pay for other programs
In some ways, higher education is used as a bank by the Washington Legislature -- at least by the Democratic caucus. Sometimes the Democrats make a little extra deposit, but then, like the past two years, they yank it back. It's a heck of a way to run universities and colleges. To deal with the shortfall this year, Columbia Basin and other community colleges are raising tuition 7 percent. CBC is cutting 100 classes taught by part-time faculty.
