Boren Expects No Increase in Tuition

OU President David L. Boren has recently sent out e-mails to the continuing OU students on May 28, notifying that he hopes there will be no increase in the tuition and mandatory fees for the next academic year.

According to Blayne Kerley, a student worker at the OU bursar’s office, last year there has been an increase of tuition by 8 to 9 percent, which still was costly to afford for many OU students.

“It is really good that no increase in tuition is being considered, because we already have to pay a lot,” said Katie Collins, an OU senior and chemical engineering major, who had just paid tuition for the summer 2009, on Tuesday.

According to the e-mail, on June 24, Boren will recommend to OU Board of Regents on no tuition and mandatory fee increase for the next academic year and hopes for the approval.
