La. Gov Proposes Bill to Let Colleges Hike Tuition - ASSOCIATED PRESS

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal proposed Tuesday that state lawmakers give up their authority over college tuition and fee increases, letting the schools substantially raise what they charge their students if colleges meet certain performance standards. Four-year schools would have to increase admission standards and improve graduation rates, while community and technical colleges would have to show improvement in getting students into jobs under the plan that Jindal is recommending to lawmakers.
