Students unite: University of Akron removing rate hike for upperclassmen – Wadsworth Community Radio

Wadsworth Community Radio

University of Akron logoThe University of Akron is back tracking on their plan to raise rates for upperclassmen. The move comes after pressure from students, legislators and the Ohio Department of Higher Education.

In an email sent to the university Monday morning, President Scott Scarborough said he will ask the board of trustees in a special meeting July 27 to scrap the rate hike.

The university said they’re getting $4 million more from the state and don’t need to implement the fees to help balance their budget.

“The conversations with Chancellor Carey and legislative leadership have resulted in them better understanding and appreciating the steps we are taking to develop a sustainable financial position so that we can maintain our academic excellence and invest in the growth of the University,” said Jonathan Pavloff, Chairman of UA’s Board of Trustees. “Their support of our efforts is very much appreciated.”

If a student already paid the fee, a credit will be issued to the student’s account.
