Dear Editor,

We as students are starting to get less out of our university with the many cutbacks. I think it is time, more than ever, for our university to answer questions about the costs that we pay. I am mainly talking about our distance, or Internet, fees. We, as students, must pay an additional $36 to take an Internet class when the university pays no electricity, does not use a room and has less people on campus parking (we will leave that one alone). I am enrolled in a class where the publisher of the books provides the chapter notes, but the instructor posts and provides the questions for the test bank. My question is why are we paying extra, and what are we getting? We already pay a substantial technology fee, so it cannot be for that. I think it is time that we begin to act as consumers and demand a product worth paying for and want to know what we are getting for our money.
