We already have enough to worry about because tuition is going to increase. UF officials said the decision to increase tuition was made because UF's tuition was lower than the national average. This risks damaging UF's trademark a high quality education at a low price. And future UF students likely will have to buy their own computers, thanks to another new UF policy requiring students to show computer literacy upon graduation. Not a bad idea but expensive all the same.
Many students are in a financial crunch.
But only about 10 percent of those paying the fee have done so, which makes us wonder how many students even know the waiver exists. Last time we checked, money did not grow on the trees in the Plaza of the Americas. Students are not a bank, either. All rights reserved.
