Trustees Approve Penn State Tuition Increases, University Budget - Adam Smeltz, statecollege.com

The Penn State Board of Trustees today approved lower-division tuition increases ranging from 3.9 percent to 5.9 percent for the 2010-2011 academic year. No members of the board, meeting at the Penn State DuBois campus, voted against the administration-recommended increases or against the overall university budget of more than $4 billion. The lower-division tuition increases, which will affect freshmen and sophomores, will be 4.5 percent for out-of-state students and 5.9 percent for in-state students at University Park. At Penn State's other campuses, both in-state and out-of-state freshmen and sophomores will see an increase of 3.9 percent.
