Resident tuition at U Oregon rose by 87 percent in ten years: What’s in store for next year’s tuition? - Emily Goodykoontz, Daily Emerald
Remember last winter term when the University of Oregon’s Board of Trustees approved a whopping 10.6 percent tuition increase? And then, when lawmakers ponied up extra funds, it reduced UO’s total increase to 6.56 percent? Heads up, because it’s time for UO to balance its coffers again — setting next year’s tuition rate. There’s little chance that tuition will remain flat. That hasn’t happened since 2001. Total resident tuition and fees have risen by 87.6 percent in the last ten years. At the same time, UO’s state funding dropped, hitting a low in 2012. Since then it’s increased some each year, but hasn’t fully recovered. Funding for UO is still around over $13 million less than in 2008, according to funding records.
