IU Trustees To Hold Hearing Before Tuition Increase Vote

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana University Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on proposed tuition and mandatory fee increases on the Bloomington campus Wednesday before voting on the items.

The hearing is scheduled for 3-3:30 p.m. in the University Tower Ballroom on the campus of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

The (Bloomington) Herald-Times reports IU President Michael McRobbie is requesting an increase of about 2.5% for Indiana resident students on the Bloomington campus for each of the next two academic years. He also is asking for an increase of about 3% for nonresident students at the Bloomington campus for the next two academic years. Those percentages are similar to rate increase requests for other campuses.
