The last thing UM Flint students need is a 4.1 percent tuition increase, but that's what they got. Understandably, students are angry and staged a protest last Wednesday at Wilson Park located adjacent to the UM Flint campus in downtown Flint.
Many UM Flint students work multiple jobs while taking full-time courses which is no easy task. I know because as a guy from Flint I worked my way through EMU here in Ypsilanti many a year ago. Many, many students work their way through college, and it is becoming more and more common as universities hike up tuition. A 4.1 tuition increase hits students hard and is frustrating. Students have a right to be upset.
