Ed Contreras at district board meeting on March 23.

Facing uncertainty over state funding, the Maricopa Community Colleges considered a proposal that could raise tuition and fees by $4 per credit hour.
The increase would mean students would be paying $55 per credit hour during the fiscal year of 2004-05. If approved, the proposal would increase tuition for full-time students taking 30 credit hours per year by $120 for an annual tuition cost of $1,650.
