Students at The University of Memphis' Lambuth campus may be getting less bang for their buck.
While students on the main campus pay a $40 student activity fee plus $17 for health services and $25 for recreation, Lambuth students pay the same $82, but under the umbrella of a single student activity fee. The Lambuth campus, however, does not yet have a health center or recreational facility, according to Jeannie Smith, assistant vice president for finance.

Taking University of Memphis courses from a computer rather than a
classroom may take less mobile effort, but is significantly more costly.
Online courses are at least $20 more than on-campus courses. Comparing a
course load of 15 credit hours, students taking only online courses
pay nearly $1,500 more each semester than on-campus students. The
comparison amount increases significantly with each added online hour.

A note from the author: In this story, I explore the reasons why the University of Montana is skipping a student body vote on a proposed increase to the athletic fee. Students voted down a similar proposal just one year earlier. The piece also shows how the university is cornered into paying for athletics Title IX compliance with student money whether it's a fee increase or a tuition increase because of an unhealthy athletics budget and the uncompromising nature of complying with Title IX.
