Public Forum on Thursday, May 17
|
The University of Southern Indiana will conduct a public forum on May 17, 2007 to solicit public comment on proposed tuition and mandatory fees for the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 academic years. The public hearing will take place at 3:00 p.m. in the University Center, Carter Hall ABC. Under Indiana law, 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 $4,791 in 2007-2008, an increase of approximately $271. In 2008-2009, tuition would be set at $5,078, an increase of approximately $287. Expected uses of the increased student fees will be new investments in faculty and on-going operational costs including personnel, benefits, and utilities. |
