Council Adjusts Requests
05/10/08 MRC/CJ
The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary
Education approved tuition increases for the state’s
public colleges, but not as much as some institutions
requested.
The council slashed the requested tuition
increase for Kentucky Community and Technical College
System from 13 percent to 5.2 percent.
It also reduced tuition increases for Eastern
Kentucky and Kentucky State universities by 1 percentage
point. Both had proposed 8 percent increases.
The council granted the proposed tuition
increases for the universities of Louisville, Kentucky and
Northern Kentucky.
The state also went ahead with its plan to cut
Western Kentucky’s tuition increase by 1 percentage point
for undergraduates, but it allowed the university to
offset that cut by increasing out-of-state tuition.
