经济危机终于要降到我们头上了～

Below is part of the e-mail from my university official. Bad news:(
On Tuesday, December 2, 2008 a memo sent to the Missouri Department of Higher Education from Senator Nodler and Representative Icet of the Missouri General Assembly requested impact statements for core budget cuts of 15%, 20%, and 25%. This request was made to all areas of the state government, including grants and scholarships, excluding only elected officials and public debt. Since the reception of this letter, hours have been spent in discussion as to how our university could absorb such a drastic measure.

On Friday of last week, it was confirmed that if a cut of one of these magnitudes (15%, 20%, 25%) was made to our university, the outlook for our future as students would be grim at best. A cut of 25% in state appropriations would equal approximately twelve million dollars ($12,000,000). The university has limited revenue sources to pull from and such a decision from the state could force students and their families to absorb the cost. Twelve million dollars ($12,000,000) could equate into almost a two thousand dollar ($2,000) increase in yearly tuition for every student or a cut in financial aid funding in order to sustain the current operations of the university without adjusting for inflation.
不知道其它学校是不是也这样？学费每年要涨２０００美元:funk:

恩?没涨。。。。昨天晚上去看学费单子，一看比上学期多收了200刀，愤怒地想去argue。却发现200刀是收在apartement里的，想起上学期有半个月没住公寓，学校少收200刀来着><
