The fee supports existing faculty as well as related priorities such as providing additional instructors and teaching assistants to open more class sections where needed to reduce class size and to enhance supplemental instruction activities intent on increasing retention and graduation rates via more individualized instruction for at-risk students
Are they talking about support to maintain eligibility for athletic scholarship students?

1 class at LSU in 2019 = $1,178
Back in 1999, I think that paid for a full time tuition at Nicholls, with fees it may have totaled around 1,500.
Back then, Nicholls May have had only 3 or 4 secondary fees.
I am getting old.

I informed LSU I wasn’t actually going to go to class in person, but get notes from a friend. They let me wave the building use fee

If you don't have any interest in being excellent, can you opt out of those two fees?

It was way less than that. USL in 98 was like $800 a semester

Student excellence fee? Wtf is that?
It's probably really the "Damn-strong offer fee." Calipari will not like this creativity.

Colleges are no different than airlines or cable companies: advertise the base rate/tuition, tack on a bunch of fees later to make up the difference.

These fees are necessary when your endowment is shite

That was about the price of a full load semester back in the 90s.

That’s just for 3 hours.
Fees are typically a flat rate though. Whether you take 1 hour of 21 hours.
ETA: Just looked. Apparently LSU’s fees do scale with hours, but the “Required Fees” are not at a 1:1 ratio.

Man I dont miss that shite

And this is why you don’t itemize a bill....just give the total and move on.

Another method of getting whitey to pay more than others. Those getting grants don't pay these fees.
It's also a way for the state to start siphoning TOPS money instead of it all going to tuition the way it was intended.

What difference does it really make if the charge is called tuition or an “academic excellence fee?
Fees are always paid by the customer (student) while tuition is often paid by the state through TOPS. The state blocks in-state tuition increases because that would actually cost the state government more money.

These fees are LSU's response to not being able to raise tuition to meet it budgetary needs. Tuition increases are constrained by the state legislature, which is usually unwilling to increase tuition because TOPS means that the state will pay for increases in tuition for most LSU students. Given the constraints on raising revenue through tuition increases, LSU has resorted to increasing fees, which are paid by students (instead of by TOPS) and which are not subject to control by the state legislature.

Students at ULL pay a cheer fe, a day care fee, a new union fee, and old union fee, and on and on and on. It is seriously more than tuition.
