Oklahoma Has Lowest Tuition--but Highest Fees

December 07, 2006 11:19 AM ET | Permanent Link

Oklahoma University is proud to charge the lowest tuition of all its Big 12 conference peers, for both in- and out-of-state students. But, says the Oklahoma Daily, "there is something administrators aren't telling you": At $1,351.75 for 15 credit hours, compared with a conference average of $722.60, mandatory fees at OU are the Big 12's highest.

Raises in fees

There are faculty at the university of Oklahoma wanting to raise the fees of certain departments, and their only defense is that Oklahoma has the lowest tuition in the Big 12. The HES department wants to double and even triple fees on every class asscociated with the department and claim that they "need" to do this for financial reasons. This is an outrage! Someone needs to look into this that actually can do something about it.
