Fort Lewis College administrators placed Brad Clark, an associate professor of political science at FLC, on administrative leave after his arrest Oct. 6.

Fort Lewis College will begin to offer a tuition payment that will cover all expenses for families who make less than $60,000 a year starting in fall 2020, said Crystal Fankhauser, associate director of the FLC financial aid office.

Across the nation, the Real College Survey started Fall 2019 ending Oct. 31, and collected data from colleges such as Fort Lewis College. The survey is a national benchmark survey conducted by the Temple University Hope Center regarding food and shelter security for college students.
