Rethink those planned tuition hikes. Thats the word from the Kansas Board of Regents, which is considering tuition proposals from universities not long after lawmakers approved a state funding boost meant to hold down student costs.
Regent Mark Hutton, a former state representative himself, said lawmakers wont be happy to see tuition rise after adding around $30 million for higher education in the state budget.
I think theyre going to feel a little bit betrayed, Hutton said, that we didnt seize an opportunity with the increased funding to channel that toward stabilizing tuition.
