Editor,
Once again, as the school year is coming to an end, there are tuition increases to look forward to. During my time at UNM it seems that every year tuition and student fees are increasing because of football coaches, IT needs, infrastructure, or less money from Santa Fe. Instead of raising student costs, the University should focus on its primary goal of being an institution of education.
If less money was spent on recreation, the University could offer one credit classes for remedial instruction, or fun educational electives, such as conversational chemistry, or literature for cocktail parties. Sports teams and new gymnasiums do not make my degree more valuable. Well-rounded, educated graduates entering the workforce makes my degree more valuable.
Sincerely,
Jim Klein
Graduate student
