tuition increases
It’s official: Trustees raise tuition for summer session
The Board of Trustees unanimously passed an increase on Summer tuition students have been fighting against for months. Tuition for this upcoming Summer quarter will be increased 10% for non-resident undergraduates and 12% for residents. When the decision was made on May 12, students were left with six weeks to come up with the extra cash and less than seven days until registration for Summer opened to decide whether or not they could foot the bill.
No hikes, no cuts, tax the ones who fucked it up
This year tuition has gone up 14%, half of the proposed 30% increase, which was instated by Gov. Gregoire in an attempt to balance Washington’s mismanaged budget. With this “all-cuts budget,” the Governor is exchanging the education of students who could previously afford tuition for a balanced budget. This exchange is a blow to the diversity of our schools as well as a blow to the future of equality in this country.
