Florida universities to seek maximum tuition hikes - Associated Press

A committee of the Board of Governors, which oversees Florida's public universities, Tuesday recommended all 11 schools should get differential tuition increases of 7 percent -- the highest allowed under a new law. The board's Budget, Finance and Operations Committee recommended approval of 7 percent differential increases sought by each of the universities. That's in addition to an 8 percent statewide increase ordered by the Legislature, for a 15 percent total.
