The Board of Trustees of the University of the District of Columbia are proposing a tuition increase at the David A. Clarke School of Law for the 2010-2011 school year. The proposed increase would see residents paying $4,425 per semester, and $8,850 per semester for non-residents. Currently, UDC law students pay $3,675 per semester, and non-residents $7,350.

UDC undergraduates already had their tuition raised earlier this year. The school’s board of trustee’s has also been under scrutiny of late, as the Post has reported, with Mayor Adrian Fenty squaring off against D.C. Council Chair Vincent Gray in an attempt to see who can put off filling up to 10 now vacant seats on the 15-member board the longest. The only reason the board is able to carry out any actions at all right now is because the D.C. Council voted to permit them to do their work with a reduced membership.
