The By Abbey Eusebio Staff Writer DePaul students will be paying approximately 4.9 percent more for their tuition next year, according to an announcement made by the Board of Trustees this week. Students received their annual letter trom the Rev. John P. Minogue, university president, detailing the tuition increase. Full-time undergraduate students who entered prior to or during 2000 will have a 4.8 percent tuition increase, totaling $16,920. Students who entered in 2001 will have a 4.9 percent increase, totaling $ 17,310 and all part-time students will have an increase of 5 percent increase, totaling $335 per credit hour. Also, the registration fee for all students will increase from $5 to $20 per term. Minogue also reminds students enrolled in upper level courses in the College of Commerce, School of Computer Science and Telecommunications and Information Systems that they will have to pay a surcharge to compensate for the additional instructional costs related with these courses.According to Minogue, DePaul has maintained a tuition increase percentage oj approximately five percent or less over the last few years. Minogue states in the letter, "We will continue to take steps to increase the value of your degree by staffing classrooms with outstanding faculty and providing wellequipped facilities." However, some students are skeptical about what the university will do with the extra money.

"It doesn't really bother me now because I don't have to pay for my tuition, since my parents pay for my tuition and we get a decent amount of financial aid," said sophomore psychology major Cathy Garbat. "But in the long run, it is going to be an issue. The university appears to be using our money to make DePaul look good. Instead of actually asking us, the students, for our opinion as to what to use the money on, they are basically taking our money without asking for it and making their own decisions as to what to do with the money." Also enclosed with the letter was a copy of the Chicago Tribune article analyzing DePaul's Lincoln Park Campus written by architecture critic Blair Kamin, which "offers a glimpse into the $150 million capital investment DePaul has made in the past decade to fulfill our goal of providing a holistic education with quality academic programs, state-of-the-art facilities and contemporary amenities that foster a greater sense of community among students."
