Arizona slaps nonathletes with $2K per year tuition hike
Most students at Arizona's three state universities will have to pay an extra $2,000 for each year they're enrolled in school, courtesy of a bill that narrowly passed through the Arizona House of Representatives.
Bill HB2675 was proposed after Rep. John Kavanaugh, R-Fountain Hills, "leaed that 48 percent of university students don't pay any tuition," according to the Arizona Capitol Times. (Other estimates put the figure closer to 25 percent, however.)
Kavanaugh did exclude scholarship athletes from the legislation, but neither he nor other supporters of the bill, were swayed by objections raised by the colleges or their current students who said it would be difficult to raise the extra money. "Welcome to life," Rep. Michelle Ugenti, R-Scottsdale, said.
