Budget plan to increase student fees next school yearBy Kurt Esposito The Purdue Board of Trustees approved a 2001-2002 conceptual budget plan that will increase basic fees 7.5 percent — which translates into an increase of $292 a year for in-state students and $968 for out-of-state students. "I think its really unfortunate; nobody, from parents to students, likes to see fees increase," said student body president Brenda Shea. The changes will take effect in July, once the next fiscal year starts. Starting in the fall, in-state students will pay $4,164 a year and out-of-state students will pay $13,872 a year. It is the largest increase since the 1992-93 school year when in-state tuition rose 8.4 percent and out-of-state tuition rose 10.1 percent. "Hopefully we won't lose any top students because of this," said Shea. "That'd be really unfortunate if we lost them."
Education department head to serve as new interim dean
Effective July 1, Jerry Peters, head of the department of curriculum and instruction for the School of Education, will be the interim dean of the School of Education. Peters was appointed interim dean to replace Marilyn Haring, who will be on sabbatical next year, while the search continues for a permanent replacement. "I consulted either in person or by email with key administrators, members of the search committee and all of the faculty in the School of Education about possibilities for the interim appointment," said Sally Frost Mason, who will become Purdue's Provost on July 1st.
