[Vision2020] Amendment Would Allow UI to Charge Tuition

[Donovan Arnold]

This is a bad idea. Students have a degree of say in how student fees are spent. They will not have a say in how tuition is spent. They are only doing this so administrators will have less red tape in how to raise and spend student raised funds, which I promise, will not be in the students best interests. They will now, raise fees and tuition 10% every year, instead of just fees. I was wondering how they were going to get around that 10% raise cap, now I know. 

Best Regards,

Donovan

Amendment would allow UI to charge tuition
February 13, 2009, 11:08 am

BOISE - The Associated Press is reporting that a state lawmaker has 
proposed a constitutional amendment to allow the University of Idaho to 
charge students tuition instead of fees, which cannot be used for 
instructional purposes such as salaries.

Sen. Joe Stegner, R-Lewiston, says Idaho should repeal the provision 
written into the constitution nearly 120 years ago, banning the oldest 
public university in the state from charging tuition.
