I was so excited to have the campus experience at a real University! I will tell you that for me, spending my first semester at UMN at home isn't doing jack squat! I want to be there, speaking with profs and meeting new friends.

This is not the same at all. In fact, for me it is worse. I live in North Mpls. and the violence is increasing a couple of hours ago, there were gunshoots only a couple of houses from me.

I shouldn't have to pay all of the fees and regular tuition in order to stay were I am. In fact, maybe they should be paying me. Or helping low income student get housing. Like, maybe in all those rooms and apartments we can't afford to sublease. That is where the tuition I am paying to stay home should go to.

I am embarrassed to call myself a Gopher. I feel taken advantage of and completely ripped off. The University knows it is impossible to deliver an online course with the same impact as if it were in-person. The University knows we didn’t choose to enroll here simply to earn academic credit. We enrolled for learning experiences that will not be replicated online and therefore SHOULD NOT BE COERCED TO PAY FULL TUITION FOR.

The appeal of going to UMN is the on campus resources and connections we get learning on campus, which is reflected in our tuition and fees. If we aren’t on campus and able to receive these resources the tuition and fees should reflect accordingly

As an out-of-state student it's ridiculous for me to pay full tuition for all my online classes and random fess such as the stadium fee. I'm dismayed at how the U handled this COVID situation. Delaying move in at the last minute is a scummy move. Then they have to make things worse by having us click an annoying pop up on MyU in regards to them still charging us whatever they want. I "love" how Gabel said there wouldn't be any financial consequences. Think again. She, the Board of Regents, and the U in general are the only ones benefiting from all of this. Meanwhile, the rest of us are going to be financially burdened or even more in debt. It's evident that they don't even have our best interests in mind. I'm upset that my 33k tuition is going to be wasted.

The popup in question tries to do two things at once, and fails to do either.

The second paragraph is written in the form of an affirmation of understanding, and an acknowledgement and assumption of risk.

However, the confirmation at the bottom is only to "acknowledge receiving this information," which renders the second paragraph moot. There's a legal distinction between "understand" and "acknowledge," which the confirmation structure fails to affirm.

Be. Better.

I didnt even notice that they said that which is just gross that they tried to slide an agreement like that under the radar by making it mandatory and a pop up.

They don't know what to do for the semester, so are dipping around with a two week move in delay and this statement, just so we can have a slim chance at going back, which should've been decided a while ago.

What is happening in the University admin is exactly what we are taught to be unethical in Carlson’s business ethics course. If the Carlson [folks] can see it’s unethical, it’s unethical

There’s no reason we should be paying full tuition and fees, especially in CSE, if we’re not allowed to access any of the resources the college offers! How am I supposed to earn a highly-accredited engineering degree without getting the lab experience or in person instruction? An online engineering degree is basically worthless, and many other colleges will offer this degree as an online program for a fraction of the cost.

This sh*t makes me sad

I'm enraged, that is all

I think the university has been transparent in how they’re screwing students. They did all this work to bring us back so we’d pay tuition and now it’s going to end up online for the semester. The decision to go fully online should have been made months ago. Commit to something.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm just confused why this would even be a thing. I feel like the U has been caring and concerned and fair with all the Covid-19 stuff up until this happened. It seems kind of dictatorshippy and very black and white during a time so full of uncertainty. Yeah... not a fan.

Graduate teaching assistants should not have to pay fees. Student fees quite literally pay for campus amenities and services, NOT instruction. Graduate students receive a pathetic pay ratio compared to tuition charged for classes we teach.

As an international student, studying online is ridiculous enough. We pay extra grands for the culture and the people interactions as well as other activities. That online statement which blocks me from entering my Myu account along with the high tuition and fees only make it worse

If housing and meal plans are "associated fees" this would directly contradict Gabel's statement on Monday that the two week delay would be refunded. The statement we are expected to agree to also confirms that UMN does not care about quality of education by saying they only charge for credits.

I’m a student worker so I have to access MyU in order to put in my hours for the week. If I don’t accept this agreement that I won’t speak out/complain if the U suddenly changes their plans (I’m also an out-of-state student) then I can’t put in my work hours.

# data[].attributes.body
Especially for students like myself and fellow College of Design majors, who rely so heavily on in-person classes, studios, and resources to have a successful academic experience, refusing to lower tuition when so many students are lacking in their experience is unacceptable. The university forcing students to give up their ability to contest standard tuition for these less than standard circumstances is unethical.

# data[].attributes.body
I am truly appalled. This 8 part agreement that does not allow students to pay their tuition, view their courses, or put in the time sheets of work already done so they can get paid is the most ridiculous piece of legal maneuvering that I have seen the University do in my time here. Not clicking on this coerced acceptance is keeping students who have had the privilege to keep their job during COVID from getting the pay that they have already earned. This income is paramount especially as we approach the start of the semester when tuition is due. My employer has agreed to fill out our time sheets while we fight for this.  I for one refuse to click on this agreement. Students are quickly figuring out ways to avoid doing so while continuing to go about our livelihood and access the information necessary for our success. I do not agree to stop fighting for a tuition decrease or acknowledge that I may contract COVID from the University's negligence reopening aspects of campus. I will not agree to these statements to have my answer used against me once something goes wrong.

I am usually a Golden Gopher who is proud to attend the U, but this needs to be removed immediately.

I am an out of state student. I should not be paying nearly $50K a year for the University to be pulling this kind of scummy, unethical move on poor college students. Joan Gabel and the Board of Regents should resign, this is disgraceful.

Not sure why I should still pay a stadium fee, an SUA fee for concerts and events when they won’t be happening. I’ve been really disappointed in the U lately. They have had the whole summer to come up with a logical and concrete plan for the fall and yet here we are.

If the University of Minnesota does lower the cost of tuition, then it should cut back on any unnecessary spending, such as shipping costs for sending masks out to students, especially those that either have their own or have means of purchasing their own prior to the start of classes.

I thought the U would be better than other greedy universities, but they seem to be just as disgustingly corrupt and more worried about profit than students and their financial health

# data[].attributes.body
I understand the risk of coronavirus and the steps the university is taking to keep everyone safe. I would think, though, that the university would be smart enough to realize the limited ability to learn that comes with teaching online and would therefore compensate it's students, who aren't getting the education they paid for, by decreasing tuition.

This statement was imposed without warning to any students. I needed to log into MyU to log time hours for work, and I had to click through in order to do that. This statement on MyU feels inappropriate, unfair, and wholly unprofessional. I would appreciate some kind of explanation on it.
