Notice of Public Hearing
|
University of Southern Indiana will conduct a public forum on May 19, 2005, to solicit public comment on proposed tuition and mandatory fees for the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 academic years. The public hearing will take place at 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, 2005, in Forum II of the Wright Administration Building. Under a new law passed by the Indiana General Assembly, each state educational institution is required to set tuition and fees for a two-year period following the adoption of the state’s biennial budget, and to hold a public hearing before the adoption of any proposed rate increases. The University proposes that tuition for a full-time, in-state, undergraduate student be set at $4,303 in 2005-2006, an increase of approximately $226. In 2006-2007, tuition would be set at $4,518, an increase of approximately $215. Expected uses of increased student fees will be new investments in faculty, instructional technology, and equipment, and on-going operational costs including personnel, benefits, and utilities. H.
