Middlebury’s comprehensive fee for the 2010-2011 academic year will rise 3.4 percent to $52,120, President of the College Ronald D. Liebowitz confirmed on April 7. Factoring in the $380 annual student activities fee, this latest increase brings the total price of a year at Middlebury to $52,500.
The move reflects commitments Liebowitz made in his Feb. 12 address to limit tuition increases to less than one percent above the rate of inflation. Between December 2008 and December 2009, the Consumer Price Index rose 2.7 percent.
The Board of Trustees approved a range of potential fee increases during its February meeting and allowed the administration to set the final figure.
The comprehensive fee includes tuition, room and board. Students must also pay an activities fee of $380 and the College estimates students will require an additional $2,000 to pay for books and personal expenses.
For the current academic year, the comprehensive fee is $50,400.
