We were wrong.
In an editorial earlier this week, this Editorial Board endorsed the idea of UI Student Government leaders pursuing a tuition freeze. After discussions with representatives from each of the parties in next week’s UISG election, however, we’ve rethought that stance. Make no mistake: Tuition control should still be a top priority for the next generation of student leaders. However, locking in tuition rates is not the best means to that end. Rather than ensuring lower tuition, a freeze would place undue burden on incoming students, ultimately making the UI a less attractive university.
