UConn's Tuition Up, Up and Away!

Hey what's another 6.3% tuition increase. Tuition at UConn has only gone up 55% in ten years adjusted for inflation. And UConn will be hiring even more employees for the upcoming year. And where will it end? Doesn't state taxpayers contribute a great deal to the upkeep and budget of UConn each year? And what are they actually receiving for it? We know the school can not do without. That is not acceptable to taxpayer funded education. We know no expense can be cut back and or monies saved each fiscal year. No,we hear more of the same all of the time, raise tuition and fees and be happy about it. And how much will be the increase in 2010-11? Another 6.3%?
Thus higher education is continuing to be priced out of the range of the working middle class here in Connecticut. And graduates why do you wish to stay here after you graduate? I do not know.
