The average student in the United States has a $25,000 loan waiting for him or her upon graduation, according to a Nov. 2011 CNN study, and Utah students are no exception. "I'm not very happy that I'm getting in so much debt while they keep raising the prices on us," said Lindsey Casper, a senior in physics. "If they get such a small amount of their revenue from tuition anyway, why don't they just raise prices a little bit elsewhere so the students don't suffer?" Others felt differently about what they perceive to be a necessary expenditure. "It doesn't surprise me that they have to spend less on helping the students than anything else," said Jordan Welch, a senior in English. "They have to make a profit to pump back into the infrastructure and stuff. I can roll with tuition increases at the price of my education." d.summers@ chronicle.utah.edu working on it for a long time, and we are expecting that it will get a lot stronger as a part of Ignite."

The Flux Research group has opened and reconstructed the network, creating the solidity and speed to host a world of new applications. When a website is entered into a browser, the computer sends a request to a server to look for the requested information. This information is packaged and the server sends it back to the computer. Non-programmable routers connect the computer and the server. The idea of the Ignite project is to make the routers able to be contacted, changeable and programmable by writing an application, Ricci said. "You could imagine that the Internet works like the postal service. You drop something in the mail, and the rest of the process is completely opaque to you and you don't know what happens in between," Ricci said. "With the kinds of networks that we build, it's like having the ability to drive the route yourself." Ricci told of an event last week when doctors from Case Western Reserve University practiced for a brain operation. Instead of cutting into the patient to determine what surgical steps to take, they opted for a detailed scan that was sent to the surgeon using the network. He read it from his house to prepare for the surgery "My role is not to figure out what those [new] applications are, but to give all of those people with the good ideas a way to get them out there," Ricci said. The Utah Education Network, another partner, will help distribute next-generation innovations to campuses and education centers statewide. The program will help give people the opportunity to take what they have done in labs to real networks. a.drysdale@ chronicle.utah.edu eign attendee would. In the future, if the operation is a success, more undergraduate majors and graduate programs would be made available. Students at Songdo would graduate with either a U degree or a degree from the university that offers their major. Classes would be taught in English and open to any who are accepted and choose to enroll. The tuition rates would be comparable to those of the adjoining universities, not the in-state cost for domestic students. The projected price for attendance is $20,000 per academic year, plus $5oo per month for room and board. The $20,000 per year tuition, more than twice the average in-state tuition, isn't a bump to make up for cost of expenses. The Songdo campus would cost nothing to the U in operation costs, ensured by a $1.5 million per year Korean governmental operating endowment and free use of facilities. The appeal of the project is its intrinsic lack of expense. The South Korean government has already built a 50-story student dormitory and a library and offers free housing for U professors who would make the move. The goal is to entice first-tier universities. Attendance at Songdo Global University would be open to U students, but Muir and Payne say the institution is geared more toward Asian students. The anticipated breakdown of demographic is 4o percent Korean, 4o percent other Asian and 2o percent American and European combined. U students have more opportunities for study abroad in the traditional venues, Muir said. The availability of a bioengineering degree, one of the U's best and most well-regarded degrees, is indicative of the regard the educational community holds for the university, he said. If the Board of Trustees and South Korean Department of Education approve, the U projects it will begin operation in Songdo in the fall of 2013 or the winter of 2014. d.summers@ chronicle.utah.edu .dailyutahchronicle. co |
