Fresh on the heals of OSU’s announcement that it is raising tuition almost 10%, we have the report from NewsOK that:
University of Oklahoma Regents will be asked to raise tuition and fees 9.7 percent, or about $497 a year, for in-state students seeking undergraduate degrees.
The increase would bring the average annual cost, based on taking 30 credit hours, to $5,607.
And at the end of the story, we see that the other schools governed by the OU Regents are all following suit:
Cameron has asked to raise in-state tuition by 9.3 percent and nonresident tuition by 9.5 percent. Rogers State requests tuition increases of 8.9 percent for both resident and nonresident tuition.
I renew my call for the Legislature to take the tuition-setting power back from the Regents. In addition, unless and until OU makes public information detailing its litigation (including settlements) with faculty, staff, and students, it should not receive one more dime of Oklahomans’ money.

Tyson, you’re ole OSU ETS co-worker/artist (remember that photo of you I copied and did a jillion adeptations of you?) anyway, been reading you for a while. SO, did you see this article and do you subscribe to this point of view? http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/2007/06/21/cyclists-the-two-wheeled-menace.aspx
Of course I remember you. I have those pictures all in a notebook somewhere. It’s one of my favorite posessions. Glad you found me.
And that bicycle post was hilarious. Remember, the best use for an O’Colly is rolled up and jammed into the front spokes of a cyclist before he or she can kill again.
Ok, that made me laugh, but on the other hand offended as I guess I’ve been “labled” since I ride my bike back and forth from work. Darn, and I thought I had masked my views by being a registered Republicrat.
Well, like most things, a few bad apples can ruin it for the rest of the folks. Or in the case of lawyers, 99% give the rest a bad name. Just don’t be a bad apple as you ride.
