Letter to the Editor: An immediate appeal to keep tuition affordable for students

BY MADELINE CONWAY

Published March 9, 2009

As of late, there have been many articles and editorials regarding the financial crisis and its impact on students. I appreciate the opinion offered by the Daily in its recent editorial (Unreasonable costs, 03/02/2009) that urged the University not to pass the baton of fiscal responsibility onto the students once more.

As an out-of-state student, I knew what I was facing financially when I made the decision to come to the University. But I also know that I — and the student body as a whole — cannot and should not have to bear the burden of another huge tuition increase to maintain the University's bottom line.

If Provost Teresa Sullivan is reading this: I love this school. I love this town. I came to Michigan for a reason. Please don't make me go back home because the University can't or won't get creative with its budget.
