UW-System Regents Approve Undergrad Tuition Increase

(Bob Hague, WRN) The UW System Board of Regents voted Thursday to raise in-state undergrad tuition.

Increases will average about 5% and will mean hundreds of dollars in additional costs for students and families. UW System President Jay Rothman said earlier this month that a decade-long tuition freeze  is unsustainable.

“We just have to make an adjustment so that we can continue as well to meet that ultimate goal of delivering the highest quality education, a world class education to our students."

Regent Rodney Pasch was the only no vote. Pasch said Rothman's tuition hike is too much for struggling students and isn't a good look when more people are questioning the value of a college degree.
