Tuition for all CSU students to increase By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry
Colorado State University will increase tuition and fees for all students on the Fort Collins campus for the Fiscal Year 2019, as approved by the CSU Board of Governors Tuesday morning. For resident undergraduate students, this means a 3 percent increase in tuition, bringing next fall’s base tuition to $9,426. Non-resident undergraduates will see a 2.5 percent tuition increase, bringing out-of-state tuition to $27,327. The board approved a range of tuition hikes for students
from 2.5 percent to 5 percent. Tuition rates do not include general fee increases, which will add about $2,000 to the overall cost of attendance for both undergraduate and graduate students. With fees and tuition combined, the total 2018-2019 cost of attendance for fulltime resident undergraduate students will total $24,133. The CSU Fort Collins FY2019 operating budget will be $1.22 billion. University President Tony Frank said the original proposition by the Board at the August meeting, including the
tuition increase of 3 percent, is extremely close to the approved budget changes. “This year’s budget has been, to date, very stable,” Frank said. “I think these budgets strike a good balance between quality and affordability. They deliver on our duty to deliver on excellence as a land-grant university.” The board also approved the proposed student fee increases for all students. Resident undergraduate and graduate students taking 12 credit-hours can expect to see a general fee total of about $2,281. This is a 1.7 percent increase compared
to last year’s rate of $2,243. For the veterinary medical program, general fees increased by 3.8 percent to a total of $2,654 in general fees. The Student Fee Review Board, chaired by Associated Students of Colorado State University Vice President Cole Wise, proposed a student fee increase of $18.82, a 1.7 percent increase from the 2017-2018 school year. Last year, the fee increase was 1.34 percent, one of the lowest increases in the last 10 years. These increases are largely driven by mandatory costs see TUITION on page 4 >>
Tattoos have become a new art, a way to tell a story or symbolize something that words cannot explain. Many athletes today dawn tattoos to represent themselves as a person. The tattoos show that there is a real person behind the jersey. Some of the sports world’s biggest names, including David Beckham, LeBron James and Conor McGregor have noticeable and iconic tattoos. Others, like Ryan Lochte and Stephen Curry, have tattoos that are relatively unnoticeable. The Colorado State club baseball team can relate to both sides, as some players having one tattoo and others have their body covered in them. Some players on the team shared the meaning behind their tattoos. Outfielder, Cody Byrnes: state of Minnesota and a mountain Two tattoos with a whole lot of meaning are represented on Byrnes’ body. The tattoo on his arm is an outline of Minnesota, with the laces around it representing baseball. Inside the outline lies a portrait of a lake in Minnesota that his grandparents lived on. “Both my grandparents lived on a lake, and they passed away a couple years back,” he said. “I thought it would be a good way to honor them.” Four years later, Byrnes decided to get another tattoo, something simpler. Byrnes dedicated the right corner of his back to a black and white mountain because he has lived most of his life in Colorado
