There has been quite a bit of speculation and a lot said about the possibility of a raise in tuition to support athletics at Utah State University.
Some people suggest to cut the athletics to get us out of the economic crisis. Or to cut it if they need our money in a time like this.
Athletics keeps the University where it is at, yet I don't feel it's more important than the school. However it is obvious the athletics is struggling financially, and I don't think we should just give up. A small increase is fair considering the circumstances.
Utah State is the lowest funded athletic school in the WAC (Western Athletic Conference). So it seems a fee increase has been long overdue. Also the school would not be anywhere near where it is now, academically.
Not only will the slight fee increase help us students have a more enjoyable time, it will help us build for the future. It will help market the school and when others get here after us the school will be better off, academically and athletically.
I'm glad we get to vote for it, so everyone can have an opportunity to voice their opinion.
