Since Texas Tech’s Board of Regents approved a 3.95 percent tuition increase Tuesday, many Tech students have expressed concern about the extra $365 a year they will now have to pay.
Some students, however, after learning the tuition increase is intended to provide competitive salaries to faculty, support the decision.
Biology major Sarah Jackson said she doesn’t think the amount of the increase will affect most students that much.
“Really, it’s a dollar a day,” Jackson said. “That’s not that much money in the scheme of things.”
