Tuition Increase

I need to ask the question why the need to increase tuition at this time, especially now with the recession in full swing and the economy deteriorating daily? Where are people going to come up with this extra money when they already have bills to pay that are actually on hold? I think they are really asking us to drop out because it is almost impossible to come up with anything extra. The future already looks bleak and with no jobs in sight after graduation where is the work or is it just a faithful promise to those of us who will be graduating. Now don’t get me wrong here since I am most certainly willing to continue but if the money is not available how can we continue in school? Are they giving us grants? The minute I saw this email I was hoping it to be a spam but it seems real enough. I am totally stressed and confused about this whole thing, especially when you are working your behind off and looking forward to the day when you will successfully graduate and then this happens. I am hoping for the best since I am going to give it my utmost honest effort but who is to say I was not doing that already. Hopefully someone will come to their senses and realize now is not the time and recall this or find some other way to create their finances. When I signed up I do not recall anyone mentioning increases anytime in the future and if this is supposed to happen do they just send an email out of the blue? Ridiculous I would say.
