Biographical / Historical

The 1970 tax rate referendum was held to support the rapid growth of the student population at Harper College, which surpassed the tax base growth rate. This resulted in a decrease in Harper’s tax base per student. The proposed tax rate increase was to go to Harper’s Educational and Building Funds in support of general operating costs, building and maintenance. The referendum failed to pass.
