<p>This is a little off-base, but I think relevant to COA. As a parent of a present CC student, I have received 2 emails from CC in the last week. </p>
<p>One informed that the increase in COA for 2009-10 was going to be modest (one statement said the increase in the cost of tuition was the smallest percentage increase in like 20 years). That was the “sorta” good news. The email did say that they were looking at many ways to tighten the belt, but that the academics wouldn’t suffer.</p>
<p>The second email announced that three varsity sports would be cut due to economic considerations. I think they were football, water polo and I forget the third. According to the email it effected less than 100 students, I think 22 women and 40+ men.</p>
