Lots of people argue that it is cheaper to live in South Dakota and that should be a trade off. We recruit on a national level, and cost of living is something applicants generally don't consider.
We haven't had any sort of formal proposal but are concerned that we may lose good candidates to higher paying jobs.
Students will keep paying that fee to continue making South Dakota competitive. We need more of a boost.
This is all going to depend on how the state budget works and what other issues arise. We wanted to raise the issue now so they know, and maybe there will be a bill within a couple years.
