Cuts in state funding have forced University of Alabama System trustees to consider tuition increases for the fifth straight year. The full board of trustees is expected to approve hikes ranging from 7 to 8.6 percent for all three campuses at its meeting today. If approved, tuition for in-state undergraduate students will rise 7 percent from $4,300 per semester at the main Tuscaloosa campus to $4,600. Tuition for out-of-state students would rise nearly 5 percent from $10,950 per semester to $11,475.
