U of M looks at clearing up fee structure

Updated:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- University of Minnesota student representatives are asking school officials to help clear up the mix of fees and give students more say in creating them.

The Star Tribune reports that tuition at the university is $4,560 a semester, but other fees associated with the college can tack on $1,000 or more.

Minnesota officials already are conducting a study of university fees and how they might be able to simplify and streamline them in a way that students can understand.

Fees include things like capital improvements, the expansion of the campus recreation center and course-specific expenses.

After analyzing the data, officials will determine whether the method for calculating the fees makes sense or if changes should be made for the fall.
