OU budgeters recommend 3.5 percent tuition/fee increase - David DeWitt, Athens News

If a recommendation from the Ohio University Budget Planning Council goes forward, tuition and general fees for in-state students at the school will rise above the $10,000 mark for the first time in OU history. At its most recent meeting, the BPC officially approved a recommendation that tuition fees at the university be raised by 3.5 percent, the maximum amount currently allowable by the state. On the Athens campus, this would push undergraduate fees for a credit hour load between 11 and 20 hours from $9,870 annually to $10,215. With the university moving from quarters to semesters in 2012, broken-down figures for the semesters were unavailable. The current quarterly instructional and general fees for this academic year stand at $3,290. A 3.5 percent increase would push that to $3,405.
