Texas Tech releases fine print on tuition and fee increases

Here's the tuition and student fee increases breakdown released today by Texas Tech to LCR.

It's based on 15 hr. classroom schedule.

Tuition - 13.11%/$282.00+
Student Rec Fee - $10.00
Transportation Fee - $6.00
Information Technology Fee - $22.50
Library Fee- $30.00

The university is allowed to average the percent increase of all charges and then apply that figure to 10% ceiling. Kent Hance effectively raised tuition rate 13.11% on tuition but only increased other catagories enough to claim that cost of schooling went up 9.9%. This is the old "blue smoke and mirrors" Reaganomics fuzzy math. Kent Hance uses the Library Fee as a slush fund and will raid it for other departments like administration did last year for gasoline costs for university fleet.
