viewpoint A contradictory message At a time when the words “budget cuts” are on everyone’s lips, the dreary conclusion seems to be that a tuition increase is neces- sary to maintain the quality of a UT education. The UT System Board of Regents recently gave UT’s Tuition Policy Advisory Com- mittee two directives: to limit any request to increase tuition to 2.6 percent and to use any increased tuition revenue to improve four- year graduation rates. The second condition seems to limit the first. The best way to improve four-year graduation rates is to not increase tuition at all. A tuition increase that has as its primary purpose of improving four-year graduation rates is self-contradictory. Tuition increases play a large part in students’ not completing their degrees. A recent study commissioned by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation found that the primary reason students at four-year universities do not finish their degrees is the stress of maintaining a balance between working a part-time job and going to school. Rising cost of tuition and fees came in second. Of course, the two are directly linked. Higher tuition bills mean an increased number of students need to work more to pay them. According to a recent Texas law, 20 percent of any new tuition revenue needs to be directed toward financial aid programs. Super- ficially, this law may seem to counter the negative effects of rising tuition on those unable to pay, and it does to a certain extent. But the report also notes that 69 percent of students who do not com- plete their degrees receive little financial aid in any form and often have to support themselves. The additional tuition revenue, which would presumably go to students already receiving significant fi- nancial aid, would leave these students working more hours and studying less. If the board’s message to TPAC seems contradictory, it is because it is contradictory. Low college-completion rates are directly re- lated to the astronomical cost of attending college now. Raising tu- ition will only make the problem worse. There are certainly students who take longer than four years to finish their degrees because they change their path, cannot get the courses they need or decide to pursue a double-major.

Emphasizing the wrong points

I was very surprised and saddened by the front page of Wednesday’s Daily Texan. I attended Mikhail Gorbachev’s lecture Tuesday, and I feel like your article has completely corrupted and distorted the character of the talk. It is very disappointing to think that my university’s newspaper was unable find a better way to sell such an interesting and unique story other than by emphasizing the wrong points. In my opinion, the article made the talk sound very political and critical to current American foreign policy, while Gorbachev tried to stay away from those topics as much as he could. Although the Texan did mention that Gorbachev “said he does not make it a habit to give advice to other countries,” it also stated that he said America “acted arrogantly and tried to build a new empire instead of working together with other countries and needs to think in terms of cooperation for the future.” The story could have talked about how, before coming to power, he could not talk about all the policy changes he was to make and how, if discovered, he would have been imprisoned or killed. The Texan could have also mentioned any of the stories he told about his relationship with President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War negotiations. After all, he is Mikhail Gorbachev!
