re: LSU faculty president upset students get to decide where their money goes

The institution can raise tuition however they like. This was voted on and accepted and paid for by the students

But if the fee bill is already let's say $500 higher, than it's harder to increase everyone's tuition by $500. People may have voted for that increase, but it makes it harder to add any additional increases (such as tuition that would directly help the university). Just because you voted to add that money, doesn't mean it's magically easier for all students to come up with that money. Every time you raise the price tag, you knock out a percentage of students that can no longer afford the bill. And we are doing this for a freaking lazy river?

lower faculty salaries and then that money could be put into improving the education.

Holy shite, I hadn't read this far to realize I was conversing with a moron.
