ST. BONAVENTURE —
Click. Click. Click. Smack! Slamming her laptop shut and scurrying to find her Blackberry, sophomore Charlee Smith unearthed her phone from the pile of papers on her desk to call her father. She had just read Sr. Margaret Carney’s e-mail. St. Bonaventure University had raised tuition again.
Carney, the university president, informed students of a 3.7 percent increase in an e-mail to the campus community on Feb. 3.
“The tuition and fees for the 2011-12 academic year will be $27,890,” wrote Carney.
