URGE AUBURN UNIVERSITY TO WAIVE OUT OF STATE TUITION FOR ONLINE CLASSES


URGE AUBURN UNIVERSITY TO WAIVE OUT OF STATE TUITION FOR ONLINE CLASSES
The Issue
In 2020, students of Auburn University have faced the unexpected hardship of transitioning to online classes. Many of these student's families have been negatively effected financially, emotionally, mentally, and much more due to Covid-19, a virus none of us expected to turn our worlds upside down. With that being said, due to the financial losses and the devastation to the "true college experience," we are asking Auburn University to waive the large Out-of-State Tuition costs of the online classes a large majority of their students will be subject to taking. Online classes can be taken anywhere; you do not have to be on campus to participate in them, therefore that very fact justifies that students should not have to pay Out-of-State Tuition to take them. Waiving the fee would also encourage students to stay home and continue to social distance while they continue learning. Students would not feel pressured to come back to campus to get their "money's worth" if Auburn waived the Out-of-State Tuition. We are asking Auburn University to understand this plea in this desperate time of need. I believe we can make change to better this University for all students regardless of their home state location during this time. I believe in Auburn!
