The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees approved raising tuition and student fees last weekend. 
According to the board’s report, tuition rates will increase two percent for the 2013 fiscal year and go up another two percent for the 2014 fiscal year. The increases will raise tuition $1.75 million in 2013 and $3.5 million in 2014.
Currently, it costs $104 for one credit hour for resident students and will increase to $106 in 2013 and $108 in 2014.
For both fiscal years 2013 and 2014, about $2 million of the new revenue will go to UW’s libraries, $2 million will go to classroom technology and a little more than $1 million will go to instructional purposes.
Fees for full-time students will increase by $93 in 2013 and another $67 in 2014. The majority of the fee increases will to go toward Half Acre’s renovation, according to UW News.
Linnea Dixson, a kinesiology and physiology major, said the student-professor relationship was more important than improving buildings.
“I feel it’s more important to make college affordable than having a gym to work out in,” she said.
Kaitlin Giles, a physiology major, agreed. She said she did not think improvements to Half-Acre are necessary. Giles said facilities have to be improved, but nothing at Half-Acre was in dire need of repair. She said if tuition increased, the extra money should go to help more students than those who utilize Half-Acre. Giles said UW should instead build a parking garage with the money.
UW will receive $15 million for Half-Acre renovation from the Wyoming Legislature, according to UW News. While the state of Wyoming has always provided large sums of money to the university, Giles said she still saw some drawbacks. She said, while she would not be impacted by the tuition and fee increases, she thought it might unfairly affect non-resident students.
Tuition for non-resident students would increase 4.5 percent for the fiscal year of 2013 to $413 per credit hour, and another 4.5 percent to $432 per credit hour in 2014, according to the UW Trustee report.
Giles said with so many students coming from Colorado and Montana, the university should not make them pay too much. She said Wyoming residents getting affordable degrees from UW and then leaving the state was also a problem.
Giles said she did not like benefiting from non-resident students paying more and UW should be careful not to hurt out-of-state enrollment.
