Mack Lafaele, Sports Medicine major “Well, as for me, I have an athletic scholarship to a four-year school. But as far as my brothers and sisters are concerned out here, that would definitely have an impact since a lot of us probably can’t afford tuition to begin with.”

Phil Malik, Undeclared “I think it’s asinine for them to raise tuition in the middle of a recession when people will already have to scale back. As for me, who knows. We’ll see when the time comes.”

Rasul Grayson, Music major With the recession and all, times are already hard enough. For me, this probably won’t change the end result though, it’ll just make the path to getting there that much harder.”

Latisha Taylor, Radiology major “At this point, since I’m just starting here, it’s not something that I’ve really had to think about, but I’m sure I’ll have to deal with it eventually.”

Teandra Johnson, Undeclared “I’m not sure what I’ll be doing. But I’m still shocked and angry. Ten percent is still 10 percent.”
