U of L will increase tuition 3.5 percent starting this fall, as approved at the June 20 Board of Trustees meeting. Full time students will pay roughly $400 more next year.
“I know the tuition is being increased and I know it’s unfortunate, but it’s something that really needs to be done,” outgoing SGA president Vishnu Tirumala said.
To offset some of the increased tuition cost, the Student Athletic Fee was halved to $25 a semester.
Since Bevin announced a 6.25% budget cut to higher education, U of L has been working to accommodate.
