“Students should have a choice or a voice when raising fees, even if they help
students. We need to keep it affordable so our campus can grow and excel!”

Jeff DePaoli

Dual Major, Mechanical Engineering and Music Performance, Minor in Physics
“One of the largest draws to this university is its affordability. An increase of this
scale has the potential to cripple that draw – resulting in lower income for the
school and an inevitable secondary increase. If an increase is to occur then it
should go toward education not administration.”

Shayla Kranovich

Sophomore, Psychology
“As a UNR student already paying my own tuition, any additional unnecessary fees
outrage me. Although helping the arts, math, and writing centers is good, the $45
student services fee is ridiculous. We need to either budget our money better or
stop buying excessive things during student events. As a student body that has
aggressively opposed the budget cuts and raising our tuition, why would we raise
it ourselves?”

Joe Gutierr

Parent
“Where is the money going? All these fees add up to over 1 million per semester
and no return for the kids @ UNR. Students still have to pay for their vaccines.”

“I succeeded because UNR was affordable. Keep students in charge!”

“If the university wishes to aggregate funds for programs, I believe students should
be able to vote on said funds, and there should be checks and balances in place
to ensure proper spending.”

Michael G. Perrin

Ph.D. School of Psychology
“I am a WCSD teacher attending UNR to work on additional endorsements and
degrees. As a graduate student here since fall 2003, I have put up with one tuition
hike after another and do not want to pay this fee. I know that several more tuition
increases have been proposed for the coming years to cumulate to the tune of 10
– 15% per year. Where will it end?”
