OUS: Revenue from the fees
stays within the departments
Continued from page 1A
entire three-year law program, with
their program fee increasing 16 per
cent, from $3,125 to $3,625. Students
admitted to the school this year would
continue to pay the lower rate.
Meanwhile, Clark Honors College
students who enroll for the next aca
demic year would pay $700 in fees per
term over their freshman year. Stu
dents admitted this year paid $500 per
term. The 40 percent increase would
end a one-year plateau in increases for
the per-term fee, which has risen an
nually in $100 increments for several
years. Students admitted to the college
in 2000 paid $200 per term during their
freshman year, 71 percent less than the
proposal for next year.
The new schedule would also re
vise the fees charged to students ad
enough,” Walsh said.
Hight added that program fees are
not costs that students typically expect
to budget for, a point former OSA
Chair Adam Petkun elaborated on in
his May 18 testimony at an Academic
Fee Book hearing.
“The ridiculous fees, ranging from
$15 per term at Southern, to $700 per
term at the U of O Honors College, are
not ones that students know about be
fore enrolling in universities or have
budgeted before they get their actual
bill from the University because they
are not listed under tuition and fees,”
said Petkun, according to transcripts.
“These fees are an underhanded and
sneaky way to circumvent the process
and it hurts students’ ability to contin
ue their education when the increases

Senior Vice
President and
term for their
first year, $250 per term for their
second, $150 per term for their third
and $100 per term for their fourth
and fifth years. If the 2005-06 Fee
Book is approved, those amounts
will increase to $600 per term for
the first year, $300 per term for the
second and $200 per term for the
third. Fourth and fifth year students
still would pay $100.
Adam Walsh, ASUO president and
OSA chair, said the fees make it harder
to lobby the legislature because it con
fuses the true price tag on higher edu
cation, muddling the point of refer
ence that legislators assign to tuition.
“Even when they give us most of
what we ask for, we’re still not getting
Provost John
Moseley. They apply more precisely
to students who benefit from their
use, and the revenue raised stays
within the department.
OSA and the administration would
like to avoid the scenario of raising tu
ition levels, and the prospect of addi
tional state dollars is slim.
“We are simply not able to cover
the increasing costs of those classes
without charging some additional
fees,” Moseley said.
Of the total fee requests the admin
istration received from departments,
Moseley said it “probably went for
ward with maybe 20 percent.”
