Surprised there’s not a “Multiple Fee” Fee

That’s just for 3 hours. This shite goes up every semester

What difference does it really make if the charge is called tuition or an “academic excellence fee?”
Because academically talented students who receive scholarships/TOPS have to backdoor money to LSU out of their own pockets as in other universities a full scholarship is a full scholarship.
And Lousiana's high ups wonder why all the smart kids go out of state for college.

Tuition for 11 hours during the summer of 2001 was that price for me :/

Disagree. LSU loses out on those types of students because they are insanely stingy on their scholarships.
LSU actually does offer scholarships that covers everything. The funding doesn’t make a hard line between the two. You just have to be a competitive candidate to an Ivy League to get them.
A resume that’ll give you a full ride at another major SEC university will only get you like a 500 dollar a semester scholarship from LSU.
That has nothing to do with Tuition vs fees.
If LSU offered you a tuition only scholarship, TOPs would gladly use the balance of the award to pay for any fees and even on campus dorm/apartment rent.
If you are among the top 3% of applicants, LSU will give you 1k a semester. Not even a full tuition ride. Oh, and the ability to work somewhere on campus for minimum wage.
But keep on thinking that it’s the fees that keeps LSU from being competitive for the best of the best.

LSU has drastically increased the amount of need-based aid given so that they can increase diversity. There is a program that pays full tuition for the poorest students that are already getting maximum federal grants.
They are transitioning to a need based model to get the numbers up because most people who have TOPS will still go to LSU even with the fees. Others who don't qualify for TOPS and don't have money won't..so they give them the money instead.
Its bound to come back and bite them but it seems to be working for now.

I remember cringing at that shite and then calculating how much dope I’d have to sell to break even

Seriously? Sidestepping the whole fact that merit scholarships are being ignored for poverty scholarships, how the frick you defend this statement?
All 3rd party academic ratings of the university have dropped over the past 10 years.
How is that “working?”
“We are an inferior university but at least we are diverse and inclusive.”

Its working in the sense that all they want is higher enrollment numbers and they are getting higher enrollment numbers..wasn't last year the biggest number they've ever had?

Glad I attended a much cheaper university

Wow. It’s even worse than I thought.
Between funding subpar applicant, and removing objective minimum criteria for entry, they literally are going for celebrating having an inclusive environment in spite of having an inferior pool.
Not sure what they think that gets them, but okay.
But this trends a bit off topic so I’ll drop it.

Don’t need legislative approval to raise fees, unlike tuition.

LSU is a huge school and they need money to hire additional faculty to teach classes.
Teaching faculty are only there to bring in more money

It's really that simple. It takes an act of Congress to raise tuition. Even when they do raise tuition it's usually 5 years too late and they need to raise it again. So FKing and the board take shortcuts and raise fees instead.

That's how every school in LA operates

Is that supposed to be bad? Seems pretty reasonable

That’s for 1 class.

Universities don’t exist to educate. They haven’t for at least 20 years now.
