The second committee decided that "this recomsocial mendation flies in the face of " g policies in Utah and the nation Also, if "students had to pay the full costs of each major field, only the very wealthy could afford fields like nursing, engineering, mines, law and pharmacy," ' the second report continued. Juniors and seniors studying nursing would pay $10,000, and engineers $12,500 under this scenario. Morgan agreed with the second report, saying a student's field of study would be determined by how much money he or she has at the time, not by abilities or interests. Varela said the end result would be no education for most students, especially those with little income and few assets. "There are a lot of social and philosophical problems" that go along with such a proposal, she said. Morgan stressed the point that no university in the nation, public or private, pays for all its costs with tuition funds alone. The U. receives approximately $114 million in state funds and has a total operating budget of over $400 million, he said. Tne state is getting a dollar back for every 20 to 25 cents it invests in the U., Morgan added. 581-816- 1.
