Are you unhappy with tuition costs here at IUPUI? Do you know the factors that lead to high tuition costs? As a state-funded institution, IUPUI receives a majority of its funds from The State of Indiana as a part of the IU system. In 2011, the Indiana State legislature was experiencing the side effects of the 2008 economic recession, and as they reviewed their budget for the year it was discovered that some cuts needed to be made. Over 300 million dollars was cut from K-12 and higher education at that time, however you have the ability to prevent such decisions in the future!
The very best way for you as a student to have a say in this process is to vote, and the deadline to register is approaching soon! If you’re not registered to vote by October 6th It will be too late to vote in this year’s election.
