MSU poised to raise tuition if funding drops - Didi Tang, News-Leader

Missouri State University may increase its tuition by 3.6 percent to $201 per credit hour in fall 2012, in pace with the annual inflation rate, Interim President Clif Smart said Thursday. The proposal is one of several assumptions the university is making as it begins to develop its 2012-2013 budget, even though there are still many unknown factors, such as the level of the state funding. State funding is one of the two major sources of revenue for MSU. The other is income from tuition and fees.
