College Tuitions To Increase
KENTUCKY....
College and university leaders are saying the newly approved tuition hikes may not be enough to prevent them from having to shut down temporarily if the state doesn't adopt a budget soon. The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, which met Friday at its offices in Frankfort, approved tuition increases for the state's public universities and colleges for the 2010-2011 school year. The council staff approved an increase in state resident undergraduate tuition and fees of 6 percent for the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville, a 5 percent increase for Northern Kentucky University, Eastern, Western, Murray State and Morehead State universities and a 4 percent hike for the state's community and technical colleges.
