Student Contribution to ASCMC Rises, CMC Gets Private Security for Parties

This year Claremont McKenna student fees were $210 dollars per student. Next year, they will be $235 per student.

What accounts for the rise?

Given the rather rowdy nature of some of the parties this year, ASCMC is investing in private security to the tune of $25,000. (And yes, that's ridiculous, even if an RA was stabbed.)

Although this amount seems exorbitant, a source on ASCMC informs me that the fees are still the lowest in the 5-Cs by "about 50 bucks."

I asked my source how much money per student is spent on the dorm level. Each RA gets $10 per student in his or her dorm. Next year, those RAs will get $15 per student.

I then asked my source if it was possible for the RA to give back the money to each student in his dorm. He said that just isn't possible. Well here's a question: why not?

I'm examine what one of our fellow colleges is doing in my next post.
