Semi-government Status
Although MUST is enlisted as one of the then-inexpensive major state university in the Philippines, tuition and matriculation fees continue to rise in the past decade. Government subsidy has been gradually withdrawn as it is now a semi-government state university. In a semester, student expenses reach as high as 50% of that of nearby private universities (e.g., Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan, Liceo de Cagayan University, Capitol University). As of 2007, only 75 million pesos was appropriated for general administration and support, support to operations, and other operations by the budget department.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
