Senate Bill 6358 another jab at already reeling four-year university students | Peter Callaghan - The News Tribune | Seattle-Tacoma News, Weather, Sports, Jobs, Homes and Cars | South Puget Sound's Destination:


"This week, the Senate has scheduled a hearing on a bill to crack down on what some see as a big problem in higher education – students who hang around too long.

Senate Bill 6358 would force students who take too long to graduate to start paying the unsubsidized tuition out-of-state students pay.

It’s not that “professional” students who take space that other students could use aren’t an irritation. But it seems like a minor one compared with a historic disinvestment in public higher education by Washington."
