TUITION

tion havo begun increasing
non-resident tuition in an effort
to bring in some needed rev
enue, while keeping resident’s
tuition relatively stable.
"The West is a little behind,"
Wessoils said "Colorado, Vir
ginia and Michigan havo begun
raising non-,resident's tuition
and Colorado lias the largest
number of non-residents they
havo over had."
Prompted partly by tiro blow
of Measure 5, tile University
has just begun to pick upon
this national trend of charging
out-of-state students higher tui
tion. Wessells said
"As the state pulls back lie
cause of Measure f>, we have to
look at our alternatives,” Wes
sells said, "We feel it would he
terrible to raise resident's tui
tion even more and we re try
ing to protect undergraduate
residents as much as wo can
"We feel It would he terrible
to raise resident's tuition even
more and we're trying to pro
tect undergraduate residents as
much as wo can.
"It's just out there as one of
the strategies," he said "As
Measure 5 comes along, it's one
of the best of the worst alterna
tives Therefore, we will turn
more to out-of-state students to
help a hit."
As a consequent >' of Measure
5, the University raised tuition
for fall term non-resident un
dergraduates from $1,908 to
$2.1130 n term, a 2.1 -1 percent
increase Resident undergradu
ates are now paying SHOO from
last year's $055 a term, a 32.2
percent increase.
"This is clearly caused by
Measure 5," said James Duel),
director of admissions “What
we are involved with here is a
public debate over what will he
the state's responsibility in pay
ing for higher education. Obvi
ously, tlie state will not support
it us it has in the past "
The University is not expect
ing drastic changes either in en
rollment or diversity of non
resident students as a conse
quence of the increase.
"There are students that are
happy to move around the
country for their education,”
Wessells said. "We’re a heck of
a lot hotter and cheaper than a
lot of private schools "
However, some out-of-state
students feel they are being
treated unfairly by increasing
