\nKentucky universities already have begun to raise tuition in the wake of decreased state funding.<\/p>\n
Northern Kentucky University’s Board of Regents passed a motion Wednesday for a 3 percent increase in undergraduate tuition. The board also called for a 3 percent increase in student housing and faculty and student parking costs.<\/p>\n
Western Kentucky University is seeking a 4.5 percent tuition increase and millions in program and staff cuts to address a $6 million shortfall for the 2016-17 fiscal years.<\/p>\n
Tuition at Eastern Kentucky University will rise by 5 percent for resident undergraduate students for 2016-17.<\/p>\n
The university said Thursday in a news release that the Board of Regents approved the increase, which is just below the cap of 5.3 percent set by the Council on Postsecondary Education. The change amounts to an additional $418 per student per year.<\/p>\n
The increases come after a legislative session during which lawmakers approved Republican Governor Matt Bevin’s 4.5 percent spending cuts on colleges and universities, about $40 million altogether. Much of the legislature’s debate focused on how the cuts would impact tuition for the upcoming school year.
