...Harvard education is going up again next term. The increase seems to be very difficult to avoid. The costs of running the college are undeniably rising and any cutbacks in services would be resented by both students and University employees. The Faculty has managed to reduce the rate of tuition increase over the past few years--from over 12 per cent in 1975 to 7 per cent this year. But that 7 per cent increase brings the total cost of our education to $7500--a staggering amount, considering that one-quarter of all American families live on less than...
...writing to correct the unfortunate impression in Monday's Crimson that the Corporation did not carefully review the tuition increases for the College. In fact, the Corporation devoted a great deal of time to the subject of tuitions and other charges during the fall. At the Corporation's direction, a detailed study was prepared which appears as Special Report #1 in the Financial Report to the Board of Overseers for 1976-77.

One plan, introduced in the Senate last fall by Oregon Republican Robert Packwood and New York Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan, would allow a taxpayer to deduct up to 50% of the money paid for his children's tuition fees at private elementary and secondary schools and at colleges and universities, up to a limit of $500 per child. In comparison, the College Tuition Tax Relief Act proposed by Delaware's Republican Senator William Roth is, like Carter's plan, limited to college students. It calls...
Meanwhile, neither Roth nor the Packwood-Moynihan team is prepared to abandon the tax-credit measures. Says Roth, whose proposal has passed the Senate three times but foundered in the House: "A majority in both the House and the Senate are sponsors of tuition tax cred its." No fewer than 252 members of the House and 57 Senators co-sponsored various tax credit bills in the past year. Nonetheless, Carter's proposal has gained support from influential members of the House Committee on Education and Labor. Either way, the chances are good that middle-income families will win some...
