Hike in Tuition Fee
Students at Baze University are expressing their dissatisfaction with the recent decision by the university authorities to increase tuition fees by 35% and hostel fees by 100%.
The announcement, outlined in a circular titled “Increase in Tuition Fees” signed by the Deputy Registrar and Acting Dean of Student Affairs, Kehinde Adekeye, indicates that the increment will take effect from May 2024.
The sudden hike in fees has sparked outrage among students, with many questioning the rationale behind such a significant increase.
Some students have criticized the university for what they perceive as insensitivity to the financial challenges faced by students, suggesting that the university may be out of touch with the realities faced by the majority of its student population.
Baze University, known for its commitment to excellence and global standards, may face increased scrutiny and criticism following this decision. Students are calling for a review of the fee increment, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive and considerate approach to fee adjustments.
