I feel that this fee is unfair to students that have already started their major here. This increase should only apply to incoming students so they are aware of the higher price before making the decision.

Eliminate waste and heinous faculty positions before incurring ludicrous charges on students.

When I accepted to come to UWYO, I also accepted the price per credit hour. If prices are raised, which they should not be, they should be raised only for incoming students, not those who are already attending the school.

I understand that the college needs more funding for classes, but until the engineering department chooses to care more about their students, I won't support the increase in cost of my tuition.

This increase is unnecessary and ridiculous.

I agree with this petition that states the addition of fees to be unfair and unnecessary. As a freshman college student I struggle to get by on the money I already have to pay to the university, and am very angry that the decision to raise student fees by such a large amount was not widely publicized (as it was shown as no more than a click to learn more link when the proposal was in process). When a change like this is as significant as 69$ per credit hour comes into play, the student body deserves to know and should have ways of stopping it when it is this unfair. If there is a budget crisis, I suggest they cut amounts of money from sports and other non-degree related programs which receive far more funding already than several academic/degree programs (a new athletics center with a budget crisis? How in anybody's right mind is it ok to fee people who aren't related to the athletics program, but instead are hard at work in the engineering program, when 44 million dollars is going to something like a new athletics center?). My point is, this change isn't fair in any way, shape, or form to any of us, and I call for a change!

I feel that the CEAS has other options for easing their budget than raising fees.

The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences needs to continue to cut unneeded staff and reduce waste like the rest of the university before taking the "easy way out" and increasing fees. CEAS needs to wait for a university wide tuition hike, and not increase the cost for engineering students. We already pay an engineering computing fee, partake in large lecture classes and labs (some of which have a lab fee), I don't see why they need to increase fee, unless they are looking to drastically reduce class/lab sizes, or start providing free textbooks!!

I have heard about this petition before and I feel that it is a rather absurd amount of money that they will be placing on the backs of engineering students. I think that it is even more absurd that the committee did not have a single student there as representation to bring our opinions to the table.

An increase in tuition is understandable. I'm just not sure why this fee will only be realized for engineering students. Also, there has been so much talk about the school needing budget cuts, all the while we just broke ground on the new engineering building estimated at $105 million. I believe the students have a right to know what the university has planned. I believe we as students should have a voice: I'm not sure why the university would not allow this.

I think it is fare to ask engineering students to pay an additional fee for their courses. But I think this fee should be based on the student's years in school. Seniors and juniors should pay less because they have been in school for a longer period of time.

Tired of decisions being made that directly affect students without any input.
