On Tuesday, November 15, Texas Christian University emailed it's students informing them of the planned 6.5% tuition increase, sparking rage across campus. All over Twitter and Facebook, students were posting statuses and tweets stating how they cannot afford TCU already, and with the tuition increase, may cause them to have to leave TCU next school year.
With that, many students got together and planned through these social networking sites, to protest the tuition increase in front of Sadler, calling it "Occupy Sadler".
With the tuition increase here at TCU, only financial aid increases along with it at 6.5%. One of the biggest concerns though is that scholarships do not increase either, meaning students with scholarships will end up paying more.
Affording TCU is difficult, but hopefully the point of the students will come across at the protest at Sadler on Thursday, November 17.
