Western Michigan University takes in over $3 million in first year charging 'differential tuition' - Ursula Zerilli, Michigan Live

Western Michigan University has collected more than $3 million in the first year since its move to a new tuition scale that charges business and fine arts students more than other students, even when taking the same class. University officials say instituting "differential tuition" has allowed them to hire new faculty, boost scholarships, develop new programs and improve the quality of education for students. Some students say it's unfair to have to pay more than a classmate for the same course.
