This Week
This week we want to know what you think about university tuition increases. Do you support an increase in tuition for secondary education, or not?
Y) Raising tuition at universities is common. The increase at both MTU and NMU were necessary, and secondary education in the Upper Peninsula is still more affordable than elsewhere in the state.
N) The schools are passing the buck to the students. Student loans are too difficult to pay as it is. The universities should not increase tuition, and look for other sources of funding.
