NORSU to hike tuition fees The Negros Oriental State University will implement a 100 percent increase in tuition in the second semester of school year 2005-2006. NORSU president Dr. Henry Sojor told the DAILY STAR the increase was supposed to take effect in the first semester of the school year yet, as approved by its Board of Regents. But because of the requests of parents and students, the university decided to collect the increase in the second semester. With the increase, the tuition at NORSU will now be P2,000 from
P1,000. Sojor said the university will also increase the internet
and development fees from P150 to P300 and P200 to P400, respectively.
