CNC Board Approves Tuition Hike
Friday, February 22, 2013 @ 1:37 PM
Prince George, B.C. – The College of New Caledonia will boost tuition this fall, by as much as 2%.
The move is aimed at easing the $1 million dollar budget shortfall faced by CNC, but even at a full 2%, would only raise about $100 thousand dollars.
The Board of Governors is meeting today, and has been given a number of options to address the shortfall. The options includes offering early retirement incentives and voluntary severance packages.
The Board will make its final decision at the meeting set for April26th.

Why are the students always targeted for budget shortfalls? The province is spending millions on telling us how they have trianed Candice to become an electrician but who is paying the shot? Candice!
If we really want to reduce crime in our community a trained youth would do a lot towards crime reduction. but hen we are focused on properties.
cheers
“Why are the students always targeted for budget shortfalls?”
Because students are the ones going to school. Suggest a general tax increase to cover the shortfalls and people will be whining about that too.
Candice pays 1/10th of what it actually costs to be an electrician. The rest is paid by the tax payers of BC.
yeah awsome lets make a CNC education unaffordable, right dont we need skilled workers? i keep reading that from government and news. im starting to think we are being told we need skilled workers while education is becoming too expensive so we have no choice but to import workers.
