its literally not. Lol im getting downvotes. but we had 20k for the whoel regional campus to spend on clubs. 20k that came from fees. we had a vote and up those fees every every year

Ive been secretary of some UConn clubs. Thats not the way funding works. Theres a vote by students for senators. Senators choose to increase tuition so stuff like jerseys are attanable. My highscool teacher said the same thing. Popular misconception. At least with the satellite campuses. Most of the monye for clubs comes from students tuition directly. Sorta like a gym. everyone puts money in it but only a tiny percentage uses it.

Theres a reason for that disparity but if you say it you get downovted. But i 1000% agree. State shouldnt step in cause soemhow UConn has manged to turn pandemic era relief into a staple in its budget. The quality of student that goes to UConn vrs CSCU is noticable. One might even argue that if this 3k increase goes into place the type of student UConn attracts might choose a flaghsip somwhere else. Ik my validitrian went here. would she if another flagship like pennstate was a similar price. Idk its hard to quite state but that disparity in funding didnt just come outta nowhere. A state like Ct needs a UConn to attract certain types of individual. There are so many reputable colleges in sorroudning states. We might have a legitimate brain drain if Uconn looses its competive price edge. I dont know how UConn is run but there should be no price hike as well as no increase by the state. Some people needa get fired come programs needa get cut. Unless similar colleges like pennstate and Rutgers get similar tuition increases i dont think they should>

Edit
Just came to say im talking about high acheiving and not class. How many senators went to community colleges. This isnt about class. AOC was poor and went to boston college. Connecticut spends more to attract people like her . High achieving regardless of class.
