    When I started in fall '99, it was $1000, by the time I was done 5.5 years later, it was all the way up to $1600

    Read the article and it explains in pretty good detail how the amounts were calculated.

    Dude, you ARE old if you paid that low tuition rate! Of course, the rate was much lower than that when I attended!

  6. Support THE COST OF HIGHER EDUCATION


      If the Legislature approves a plan that would allow management boards to raise university tuition, UL students may see an extra $173 tacked onto their tuition each year.

    The bill was approved last week by the House education committee, and given that many universities, including Lafayette's three public higher education institutions had no tuition increases in the past three years, it's likely that the measure will be accepted before the end of the session.

    Institutions point to low tuition - the lowest among other institutions within the Southern Regional Education Board - coupled with sporadic state support as the reason for the change.

    Many students on campus weren't aware of the proposed increase, which some say will pinch their finances. While paying an extra about $85 a semester may equate to two or three tanks of gas, for those students without financial aid or parents pitching in, the added expense is a financial strain.

    "Eighty dollars? That's a book," said Lauren Richard, a UL sophomore majoring in education. "That's a used book, really."

  7. This is Upsetting Re: THE COST OF HIGHER EDUCATION

    Booo. The state screwed me out of TOPS, now they're going to screw me out of a book! Thanks LA!


  8. Default Re: THE COST OF HIGHER EDUCATION

    The article makes some good points.......How are we supposed to adequately fund our University when the tuition is below that of UNO and La Tech? The fact is, it's dirt cheap to get a degree at UL when you compare our tuition with comparable universities across the country.

    If ours really is lower than UNEAUX and U of LaTex, it makes no sense whatsoever.

  10. Default Re: Louisiana Tuition increases

    I am happy that we give our students as good an education or better for less money. It just proves that we do a better job than the other schools. Say what you want about Authement, but you have to admit that we are better managed. If our legislature was inclined to support our success for less, then we could continue to grow by being subsidised for our frugleness. I would love to see our tuition go down while the others go up. If I were a richer man, I definitely fund student scholarships.
    My only question is, "Do all schools get the same amount per student for TOPS"?

    Mine is starting next fall also. Of course lots of God-daughters are starting at UL next fall, for that matter, but none as lovely as ours I'm sure.

  13. Support Proposal to increase tuition falls short


    BATON ROUGE - Questions about how the state would pay for increased costs in the TOPS scholarship program and how students who don't have the scholarships could afford it temporarily put the brakes on a move to increase college and university tuition.

    The proposal to grant colleges and universities authority to hike tuition every year until 2012 fell two votes short of passing but state Rep. Don Trahan, R-Lafayette, said he will try again. Trahan said his House Bill 734 would impose only a "modest increase" and "a catch-up to inflation."

    Colleges and universities could impose 3, 4 or 5 percent increases, depending on how institutions compare with their peers across the South. Most would be allowed to impose 5 percent increases in each of the next four years because tuition at Louisiana higher education institutions is generally lower than at other states' schools.

    At least Mr. Downs "gets it".

  15. Support Tuition Increase Approved by House


      A second try at statewide, college tuition increases breezed through the House on Monday, one week after the legislation narrowly stalled in the same spot.

    House Bill 734 would increase college tuitions up to 5 percent each of the next four years.

    The bill was approved in an 83-18 vote, with two-thirds support required for tuition and fee increases. The bill had 68 votes last week, two short of two-thirds necessary for approval.

    Louisiana is the only state that requires such stringent approval for tuition changes.
