Think of it this way and if you are in college how would it make you feel knowing that you are partially paying the salary of the student next to you in class. Would you be happy that you are paying fees to pay the student next to you? It’s bullshit and I’d be pissed as a student.
Student tuition pays the salary of the faculty, pays the salary of the janitors, the cafeteria workers, the rec center workers, the RAs, and athletes, who are all providing time and talent to the University. The market dictates what these jobs are worth. If Wyoming wants to attract the best people into these roles, they have to pay market prices. If the value of a basketball player was $15/hr, that's what they'd make.
