Absolutely Outrageous

Shame on you, Rep. Russell Pearce. The State of Arizona is now planning to dip into "extra" tuition revenues to help ease the state's budget problems. Wait, we have EXTRA money?

"And hours before Shelton spoke, members of a legislative committee began considering how they might use nearly $57 million in extra tuition money collected by all three universities, with some members saying that the money could be used to pay down the deficit."

How can we continuously raise tuition and then send the money to the state? It is supposed to be the other way around: the state is supposed to be supporting the university.

This is another move that will inevitably dumb down our state's population. The universities are not cash cows for the state. They should not be raided like piggy banks. Figure out how to solve your own financial problems.

Shame on you.
