Notice of Public Tuition Hearing

It is the Arizona Board of Regents that ultimately approves or rejects Pres. Shelton's request for a 13% tuition increase for next year. They are the group charged with upholding the state's mission and the University of Arizona as a land-grant institution.

Hold them responsible for increasing the price of public education to the extent that it is now out of reach for so many struggling students.

Tuition will have been raised 53% since 2005 if the newest hike passes. Ask what services are being provided to aid students in paying these increased costs. Ask where you can lobby for better state funding of our public university. Don't let politics dumb down our state. Arizona deserves well-educated residents.
