Cox College leaves tuition rates unchanged to help students in tough economic climate

The Cox College Board of Trustees recently voted to leave tuition and fees unchanged for the 2009-2010 academic year. “We made the decision in light of the current economy and the tightening of credit for students,” says Dr. Anne Brett, Cox College president. “To balance our budget we are tightening our belts where ever possible to continue to put students first,” she says.

Because costs continue to rise, but income from tuition and fees will remain the same, the college is taking steps now to prepare. “We are scrutinizing employee travel, we’ve put hiring for some open positions on hold, and we’re asking everyone to think twice about purchases to make sure they are critical,” Dr. Brett says. College leadership will continue to evaluate expenditures throughout the school year and make any necessary adjustments to the budget to ensure the mission of the college is not affected.
