Assistant will carry with it a reduction of tuition costs in return for a specified number of work hours.
These positions will not replace the college Work Study Program but are intended primaril/ to require a
higher degree of job performance and work hours while also bringing about higher remuneration. None
of these positions willresult in cash transactions. Students who perform the assigned duties in a satisfac-
