Skewed comparisons
I am writing regarding Melody Bianchetto's comments about next year's tuition hikes ("Tuition rates likely to rise for next year," April 28). First of all, I am not going to pretend to be fully knowledgeable about the financial and practical concerns regarding state and University budgetary priorities. The reasoning Bianchetto gives for the tuition hikes, 9.9 percent for in-state undergrads, is that reduced state funding to public universities places the financial burden on the University. That makes perfect sense to me, and I have absolutely no problem with it.
