By spreading the cost out among all students, it means that the cost of STEM degrees for the university, all else being considered equal - is lower than it is for competing institutions.

Correct I agree. I fully understand that concept.

Were you not voting against a proposal to change that? I don't understand why a University thinks it could be successful by changing that while their competition does not.

If I'm still not clear, what was the proposal you voted against?

As a History major, I voted against a proposal to change it so that each department had separate tuition. In effect, I was voting to raise the cost of my own degree so that other students would save money.

Those supporting the change didn’t see how it was fair that some were costing the university more while others didn’t cost them as much paid the same.
