$1,100 surcharge

According to the Tucson Citizen and a campus-wide memo sent by Pres. Shelton, a $1,100 surcharge may be added to next year's tuition (which, as you will recall, was already significantly increased by the Regents): http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/local/114121.php

One colleague of Sallygradstudent commented that two of her undergraduate students stated that they will not be able to afford to go to UA next semester because they already could barely afford the tuition increase, much less the surcharge.

What is most insulting is that the administration is calling this an 'economic recovery' surcharge, giving the false impression that this is somehow a plan to help students recover from the bad economy, not a way for the administration to 'recover' the funds lost from the state cuts. (Just read the comments after the Tucson Citizen article.)

In other news: "Class sizes worry GPSC". GATs and GPSC's President Bieda explain the inevitable snowball effect of cutting GATs. Fewer GATs= bigger classes, more time grading and less quality education for students and teachers alike:
