    No increase to tuition for 2021-22 school year

    Yavapai CollegePrescott AZ (October 27, 2020) – Yavapai College has announced that they have no plans to increase its primary property tax levy or its tuition for the upcoming academic year. It will mark the third consecutive year that the College will not ask for a property tax increase. 

    The College made the announcement at its monthly District Governing Board meeting last week, where preparation for the 2021-2022 fiscal year budget began.  

    “Under the current state of the economy and the hardships that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused on the community, we do not believe that asking for a property tax increase is fair to our taxpayers,” said Dr. Lisa B. Rhine, President of Yavapai College.   

    Under Arizona law, Yavapai College has the ability to ask its District Governing Board for up to a 2% property tax increase each year.  

    “Similarly, we will not be raising tuition prices this upcoming year.  We want to be as affordable as possible for our students during a time where many are facing financial challenges,” added President Rhine.

    With no tuition increase, YC remains an outstanding value for students and has the second-lowest-cost in Arizona for full-time students. YC also offers no course fees for nearly all of its programs. For 2021-2022, the tuition and fees at Yavapai College will be 12% below the Arizona average and 38% below the national community college average. 

    The Yavapai College budget process will continue throughout the new year until the College District Governing Board adopts a budget in the spring. 

    The Yavapai College District Governing Board includes five elected members who represent the districts of Yavapai County. More information can be found at www.yc.edu/dgb.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
