Chapter 155: Increasing Tuition Fees and Collecting Money (First Update)

Director Jiang Xiuli of the Art Department, the last time Ding Yue talked to her was when Lin Zhirou participated in the National College Student Arts Festival Music Competition, right?

I didn't expect her to come to the office to find herself.

"Director Jiang, is there something wrong?"

Ding Yue looked at Jiang Xiuli and asked suspiciously.

A busy department head like Jiang Xiuli, if he is usually fine, he will definitely not come to him.

Just like the last time Zhu Youzhao from the Film and Television Academy came to find him.

"Principal Ding, we have a matter in the art department, and I want to discuss it with Principal Ding. Jiang Xiuli sat on the sofa and said seriously.

"You say. ”

"That's right, since Lin Zhirou's "Confession Balloon" was officially released on May 20th, the art department of our school has received a lot of attention, and the phone in my office has been blown up in the past few days. ”

"What's the matter?"

After Ding Yue heard this, the first thing that came to his mind was that someone might be deliberately doing something?

"President Ding, no, these calls are from many students who are about to take the college entrance examination this year, as well as some previous graduates, who called to ask us if the Art Department of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences will recruit students this year, how many students will be recruited, and so on. ”

Jiang Xiuli hurriedly shook her head and said.

"Oh, this thing, recruit as much as you want, recruit as much as you want. Ding Yue spread his hands and said.

Now Ding Yue doesn't have to worry about the lack of dormitory buildings in the school at all.

At present, the school has 12 apartment halls under construction alone.

In a modern university, a dormitory building alone is enough to accommodate at least two or three thousand people, and if it is a four-person or six-person dormitory, then a dormitory building can even accommodate five thousand people.

Plus there are two more apartment buildings.

Ding Yue initially estimated that after the first batch of expansion projects are completed, the combined accommodation capacity of the school's new and old apartment dormitories will reach at least 70,000 people.

How much can the art department recruit?

Ten times more than last year, that also killed more than 1,000 people.

Recruiting a student is tens of thousands of dollars.

"That's no problem, but President Ding, at present, the teaching resources of our art department are limited, if we open up enrollment this year, will we consider the problem of tuition? After all, we are an art department, which is still different from ordinary professional departments. ”

Jiang Xiuli put forward this suggestion from the teachers of the art department.

Of course.

Jiang Xiuli is also in favor of charging the tuition fee of the art department separately, unlike last year, which is a uniform tuition fee of 25,000 per academic year.

"Director Jiang means to raise the tuition fees of the art department?"

After Ding Yue heard this, he frowned slightly.

Then think about it carefully.

It seems that Director Jiang Xiuli has a point, the number of students has increased, so it is inevitable to invest more teaching resources in the art department.

Therefore, there is always no problem with the tuition fee being increased accordingly, right?

The tuition fee of 251 academic year is indeed not high among ordinary private universities, and there are even many private colleges and universities with tuition fees of more than 25,000, which is ridiculously high!

In addition, the art department is indeed a special department, and it is normal to separate and recustomize the tuition fee.

"Then Director Jiang, since we want to increase the tuition fees of the art department, then the teaching level of your art department must also be improved accordingly. ”

Ding Yue agreed with Director Jiang Xiuli's proposal.

However, the premise of the tuition fee increase is that the art department must improve the corresponding faculty.

"Okay, Principal Ding, I will communicate with the administrative personnel side about the expansion of teachers, and it must be completed before the start of school next year, so Principal Ding, how much will we charge for the new academic year of the art department?"

Jiang Xiuli asked again.

"If it's too high, it's definitely not going to work. Ding Yue thought for a while, first shook his head and said: "The art department of our school has relied on Lin Zhirou to gain a wave of reputation this time, but Director Jiang, you should also know that there is still a gap between the art department of our school and those professional art schools." ”

"Well, Principal Ding, I know, should we increase the original tuition fee by 10,000?"

Jiang Xiuli nodded and suggested.

"The tuition fee for art students is thirty-five thousand, well, almost, so let's set it. Ding Yue felt that the increase of 10,000 yuan in tuition fees was still within a reasonable range.

After all, it's an art department.

"Principal Nading, I'm going to do this. After Jiang Xiuli finished speaking, she stood up.

After leaving the president's office, she went to work on expanding the faculty of the art department and the new tuition standard.

Ding Yue had also considered that Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences was a private university, and the tuition fees for all majors must not be 25,000 per academic year.

After all, the investment in some majors is indeed higher, and after some majors become the key majors of the school, the tuition fee will naturally increase.

It's just that Ding Yue didn't expect that the first to increase tuition fees was the art department, and he took advantage of the opportunity of Lin Zhirou's song to become popular.

In fact, Ding Yue also knows why Director Jiang Xiuli and the teachers of the art department support the tuition increase.

That's because after the tuition fee of the art department has been raised, they are the "old people" who entered the art department in the first year, so the welfare of the school will definitely be improved accordingly.

That's true.

After the art department increases the tuition fee to recruit freshmen in the second year, Ding Yue will give her a boost like Jiang Xiuli's treatment as the head of the department.

But.

In the past few days, Ding Yue's focus has not been on the art department.

It is the upcoming National Robot Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Expo.

May 28th.

There are less than two days left before the opening of the National Robot Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Expo.

After registering, Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has already received a notice from the organizing committee, informing the participating teams of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences to participate on time.

As for the National Science and Technology Innovation Expo, because it is held together with the National Robot Competition, it can appear at the National Science and Technology Innovation Expo if you participate in the National Robot Competition.

Afternoon.

After Wen Ruohan finished class, she came to Principal Ding's office and was ready to serve Principal Ding.

"Wen Ruohan, there are two days left before the National Robot Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Expo, you go to the Department of Mechanics and the Department of Computer Science to determine the number of people who will go to Shucheng this time, and then prepare to book air tickets and hotels. ”

Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan to prepare in advance, and he couldn't temporarily cram.

"Howler. ”

After Wen Ruohan received the task of Principal Ding, he happily went to work.

First went to the Department of Computer Science, counted the number of people in the Department of Computer Science going to Shucheng, plus Director Xu Bin and the head of the Department of Computer Science, there were a total of six people, and the remaining four people included a teacher and three students.

They are all team members who participated in writing the robot big white chip.

"Computer science department, six people. ”

After Wen Ruohan confirmed with Liu Wei, the head of the computer department, he quickly wrote down the information in his small notebook.

Then Wen Ruohan went to the Department of Mechanical Engineering again.

This time, the member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering who followed President Ding to participate in the National Robot Competition was Cao Guowei, the head of the department.

There are also three students, Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei and Yang Ji, majoring in mechanical engineering and automation, as well as teacher Li Shengbin.

That adds up to five people.

"There are five people in the mechanical department. ”

Wen Ruohan hurriedly wrote it down.

There are eleven people here.

and Director Huang Youjie Huang.

Because Director Huang Youjie also participated in the experimental project of the robot Dabai, Director Huang's law major compiled the "Encyclopedia of Legal Programs" for Dabai.

"With Director Huang, twelve people, as well as Principal Ding and me, there are fourteen people in total. ”

After Wen Ruohan counted the number of people who were going to Shucheng to participate in the National Robot Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Expo this time, he began to book air tickets and hotels.

Booking flights and hotels is the most common thing a secretary does.

Fortunately, the tickets from Wucheng to Shucheng have been very easy to buy recently, and Wen Ruohan bought the same flight for the fourteen tickets.

Principal Ding's words must be first class.

Then there are Director Huang and Director Xu, they have to buy business class, and the rest of the students can just use ordinary economy class.

"That's it!"

It took a few hours for Wen Ruohan to finally buy the ticket and book the hotel.

Then I went to Principal Ding to report on the booking of air tickets and hotels.

"Classmate Wen Ruohan, you can pull a group of all the people who went to Shucheng with me to participate in the National Robot Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Expo this time, so that we can inform you of the matter when the time comes. ”

"Okay, Principal Ding. ”

Wen Ruohan immediately went to add WeChat again, and then pulled more than a dozen people into a group, and talked about booking air tickets and hotels.

The ticket is available on May 29 at 11 a.m.

In other words, on the morning of May 29, everyone had to wake up early, and then have breakfast and leave for the airport.

Wait a minute.

Isn't May 29 tomorrow?

Wen Ruohan looked at the time, and before she knew it, it was already night, she hurriedly went to the second canteen for dinner, and then went back to the dormitory to rest early.

Early the next morning.

After Ding Yue got up early, he woke up Lao Huang and Ah Bin, and then the three of them went to the second canteen for breakfast.

Anyway, the secretary Wen Ruohan has basically arranged the trip.

Since there are a total of fourteen people going to Shucheng this time, Ding Yue will definitely not be able to drive his Audi A8, even if he adds Lao Huang and A Bin's car, it is not enough to carry people.

Therefore, Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan to find logistics to coordinate, and asked logistics to transfer a school bus to send everyone to Wucheng Airport.

In the second canteen, Ding Yue saw Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei who also came to have breakfast.

There are also several students and teachers such as Chen Jun from the Department of Computer Science.

In addition to the students who were about to go to Shucheng, there were other students who got up early in the cafeteria for breakfast.

After these students saw Principal Ding and Director Xu, they blessed one after another: "Principal Ding, you must come back with a grand prize." ”

"President Ding, our Fog City University of Arts and Sciences is the best!"
