Students' costs rising at KU
By MARY ANN STANLEY
Staff Reporter
In 1900, a student could spend nine months at the University of Kansas for $165, including tuition and fees, rent, utilities, meals, books and incidentals.
Today, that student's great-grandchildren would expect to pay between $2,800 and $3,600 for an academic year at KU, based on figures supplied by the office of student financial aid.
The price of tuition and fees for Kansas residents is now $385.60 a semester, or $771.20 a year. Non-residents must pay $252.60 a semester, a yearly total of $1,851.20. Room and board in University housing ranges from $1,537 to $1,875 an academic year, depending on the housing plan selected by the student. Textbook expenditures are estimated at $175-220 a year.
These figures agree with results of a recent survey of more than 3,200 schools, conducted by the College Servicehip of the College Board.
The study indicated that a student who lived on campus and attended a four-year, public institution would face total costs of $3,469 for the coming year, compared to $2,867 last year. That compares with a 8.5 percent increase from 1978 to 1979.
rates at KU represent about a 7.7 percent increase for residents and an 8.5 percent increase for non-residents in the figures of $38.10 and $39.10 a semester.
This increase was the first sizable tuition and fee raise since 1978-79, whensemester figures jumped 22.9 percentfrom $289.90 to $35.10 for residentsand 24.3 percent (from $683.90 to1850.10) for non-residents.
THE CURRENT TUTION and fee
fuction and fees for both residents and non-residents went up less than $12 throughout the four-year period from 1974 to 1978.
John Conard, executive officer of the Kansas Board of Regents, said that the fee increases were necessary to keep up with the rising costs of education, including faculty and staff salaries, library acquisitions, buildings and grounds maintenance and University-sponsored research.
"A special budget committee of the Kansas Legislature recommended about 15 or 20 years ago that the Regents should set fees at 25 percent of the actual cost of educating a student," he said. "Even with the recent increases, we still are below that 25 percent mark."
CONARD SAID that the Board of Regents had an informal policy of leaving fees constant for three-to-four-year periods.
"Some students have suggested that we implement small fee increases every year instead of the less frequent, larger raises, but we think a student who doesn't pay of his fees for his entire stay at the University when he enters," he said.
The Regents have not discussed the issue, raises for the near future, Corp. said.
A 1979-80 study by the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges ranked KU favorably on cost of tuition, fees, room and board with respect to its five peer institutions. It is similar to Kansas and comparable to KU in size, enrollment, programs and traditions.
KU WAS fifth in total expenses for both residents and non-residents, at $2,081 and $3,071 respectively. The Colorado University was the most expensive school surveyed, at $2,482 a year for residents and $4,893 for non-residents. Oklahoma University, with $1849 for residents and $7,798 for non-residents, was the least expensive. The average resident and non-resident fees for the six schools were $226.67 and $3,786.83 a year.
Room and board take the biggest chunk of money from resident students, 48 percent of total expenses, according to the College Board survey.
