Post Letter: Students give back through service, not more cash
Nov. 13, 2011Reading the Nov. 10 article, “University turns to students for cash,” made my blood pressure rise. I can respect that the university wants to raise funds for very good purposes, but turning to its students is not the way to do it. To say that OU students pay $9,870 for tuition is a veiled attempt to minimize how much is really being spent by your average undergraduate. Beyond the cost of tuition, we also shell out an average of $10,000 a year for two years (at least) to cover the costs of the mandatory university residence and meal plan.
