College tuition costs in Florida likely to rise again - ROBERT SAMUELS, Herald/Times

Of the many disagreements lawmakers are having about the future of Florida's education system, one thing doesn't seem to be in contention: College tuition is going up. Way up. Both the House and Senate budget proposals call for an 8 percent tuition increase at all state universities. The schools then have the option of asking students to pay even more, resulting in as high as a 15 percent increase in total. Most major universities plan on employing that option. The University of Florida has already announced a 15 percent tuition hike, as it did last year.
