Tuition Increase

[circle70]

From the Chicago Tribune today:

At the University of Illinois at Chicago, fixed-rate tuition will jump 9.5 percent to $8,130 a year. Fees will be an additional $2,384 a year.

Does any current student (or anyone else) know how much of the Fees goes to support the Athletic Dept.? Just curious.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but that is over a $1000 increase in fees, up from $1301. Where is all this money going? Here's the breakdown of the current "fees" from the uic site...

General Fee: $394
Student to Studen Fee: $3
Service Fee: $304
Health Service Fee: $104
Health Insurance Fee (waivable): $401
CTA U Pass Fee: $95

Just glad I'm locked in at around $6,600.

The University is saving up to buy out Jimmy's contract.

I've never seen anything regarding what goes to Athletics.

And this further solidifies my NEED to graduate as soon as possible.
