For the last couple of years, the University of San Francisco has been increasing its tuition. With COVID-19 pushing back the reopening plans for the city, USFCA decided to go full remote for the Fall 2020 Semester, excluding courses like clinicals for Nursing students. With an online program, students lack the physical connection that they come to campus for which deprives them of such but also reduces the use of facilities, but for some reason, the activity fee is still being included into the tuition cost. The school has decided to reduce transportation fees due to the lack of use for the MUNI lines, but the costs still remain high while the school claims that the quality of teaching is just as good with the only argument that they've been providing consisting of "we've been working on it." Almost everyone's been taught the traditional way ever since we were younger, so the grades we receive through online education may not represent our full effort because we don't have the ability to go and ask our professors questions since some don't even have office hours online. When I first started attending in 2018, I was offered a financial aid package, but at this point, it is not worth the same value at all because it has not grown proportionally with the tuition at all. Furthermore, despite being online, some staff take weeks to reply to emails or haven't at all during this transition period. I believe some of you can agree with that yourselves while reading this. With this all in mind and the school acknowledging the financial instability of families during this recession, they still chose to move forward with the tuition costs. Sign this petition and pressure USFCA into lowering tuition costs for the coming Fall 2020 Semester. Countless students are dropping out and taking leaves of absence. How many more do you want USF? Would you rather drown in your own pride or would you lower the tuition to help the community and actually CHANGE THE WORLD FROM HERE.
