TUITION
continued from page 1A
this fall.
"Our main concern was that stu
dents were not informed,' ASUO
Legislative Associate Gabe Kjos said.
"We were shocked that they would
perform such an action when stu
dents had no voice."
Kjos said the education board's de
cision to have changes implemented
in winter term was a victory for
students. He added that it would give
ASUO time to educate students about
how the changes will impart them.
But the decision to delay the
increases until January 2004 puts an
even greater strain on state schools.
The University may face financial
shortages, administrators said, and
some classes may be cut for winter
and spring terms to help balance
the budget.
Moreover, University Provost and
Vice President John Moseley said
the University's projected state allo
cation is about $4 million lessthan
was expected for this biennium. He
said administrators are stillreview
ing the budget and it is tooearly to
determine what the finalimpact
will be.
"We're going to make every effort
to have the number of classes we had
planned for," Moseley said.
Oregon Students Association Exec
utive Director John Wykoff said the
state system has put students in a pre
carious situation because, on average,
resident students are now paying for
about 62 percent of their tuition.
"That's the worst imbalance of stu
dent-state participation we've ever
had," he said. It is a "sad and sorry
state of affairs" that the state no
longer considers education a high
priority, he added.
The more we borrow
now, the more we have
to pay later. In the short
term and in the long
term, it's going
to affect us."

While the University introduced
the new charges, it will still main
tain its tuition plateau, which al
lows students to pay the same
amount for a certain credit range.
However, Portland State University
and EOU will completely eliminate
their plateaus in January. PSU and
EOU administrators said plateaus
are unfair to part-time students who
have to pay more to subsidize cred
its for full-time students.
Moseley said that when taking
into consideration the University's
cost per credit, 14 to 16 credits are
actually offered at a discount, giving
students the incentive to register for
more credits. Discounted credits in
the morning are also part of the in
centive to let students benefit finan
cially in their pursuit of education;
the University will offer a 15-per
cent discount for classes taken be
fore 9 am.
About 25 percent of undergradu
ate credit hours will be offered at
times when students can take advan
tage of the discounted tuition rate.
Moseley told the Emerald in July that
only students who take all their
courses between 9 a m. and 2 p.m.
will pay the maximum tuition.
Despite these efforts, some still be
lieve higher education is becoming
less feasible in Oregon.
"Students are paying more for less,"
Kjos said. Under the new system, high
er costs per credit will restrict the num
ber of classes low-income students can
take, Kjos said. Furthermore, if a stu
dent chooses to take fewer than 14
credits to avoid the additional charges,
it will take the student longer to gradu
ate, he added.
University junior Christina Irvin
said current economic conditions
may make it harder for students to
make the additional money to fi
nance any tuition and fee increases.
Even those with financial aid will
still suffer from tuition increases in
the long mn, she added.
"The more we borrow now, the
more we have to pay later," Irvin said.
"In the short term and in the long
term, it's going to affect us."
