Photo courtesy of University Relations The per-credit tuition model forum has been rescheduled once again. The forum, which invites students to come and voice their opinions about the new model, was first scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 5. The date was later changed to Tuesday, March 24. Now, that forum should take place in the month of April. Although the per credit tuition model will be discussed at the forum, the status of the university budget will also be talked about as the issue revolves around the university's limited budget. The model is not close to being finalized, and "is still in development" according to Jerry Silberman, vice president of Administration and Finance. The proposed model will raise the students' tuition per credit by 3 percent of the current 2015 prices, so $800 more would be spent by students per semester. Any student who would take less than 15 credits per semester would pay less tuition, but that student would not complete their education in the intended four-year track. Silberman said, "The model was presented as one of the ways to solve the university's deficit and avoid further elimination of programs and services." A survey was sent out to students' KU emails from Student Government Board. The student responses will be one of the factors that the university will consider "when making any decisions about the model going forward" said Silberman. "It is very important for us to hear what students have to say about the model." 78 percent of students who participated in the SGB survey said that they did not agree with the model, 12 percent said that they did agree with the model and 11 percent of students said that they See TUITION, page 2 Sandy Hook victim's father speaks at KU 2 Students lead anti-sweatshop activism 4 Word on the Street: per-credit tuition model J Slam poet Kyla Lacey to perform in SUB 10 The Keystone News («> I hekeystonenews KU Volleyball player to play in Italy this summer 15 Thekeystonenews Cioogle Play/App Store: The Keystone News www.tiiekeystonenews.eoin
