University administrators held a public hearing Monday to discuss a proposed tuition increase with the 11 attendees.
Students and campus administrators discussed a possible 4.9 percent overall tuition increase for the 2010 to 2011 academic year during the tuition and fees open hearing held in the LBJ Student Center.
While incarcerated at the Hays County Jail in 2000, Todd Dietert, 36, made it a point to avoid contact with both quarrelsome inmates and the ever-present mold in the showers.
“We’d wear shower slides on our feet, but the showers were so small you couldn’t avoid coming into contact with the wall, which was covered in mold and mildew,” Dietert said.
Dietert eventually suffered a staff infection, which he attributes to the jail’s teeming population.
