Blame tuition woes on the state, not the University - SPENCER BUCKNER, Daily Texan

UT’s announcement of likely upcoming tuition hikes should come as a surprise to nobody. A need for more funds coupled with an unsupportive state legislature make rate increases inevitable. Regardless, students around campus have been speaking out against it. In a survey issued by the Senate of College Councils in late October, over 45 percent of UT students have said they would “definitely not” support a tuition increase. A handful of respondents said it could lead to them not pursuing a second major, cutting back on food expenses or dropping out of UT altogether. No Longhorn should be forced to curtail their studies or end their college education altogether based on tuition increases. Outrage against tuition hikes is justified, but we must be careful to reserve it for those who deserve it. http://dailytexanonline.com/2017/11/27/blame-tuition-woes-on-the-state-not-the-university
