In a surprise move, a state board has approved a 15 percent tuition increase for Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University, after denying the same request at some other schools. The Board of Governors initially split 8 to 8 on FAU's requests, which would have meant a defeat. But board member Norman Tripp, a former member of the FAU Board of Trustees changed his vote. FIU's request was approved 10 to 6. The board has approved the University of Florida's request for a 9 percent increase, the University of South Florida's 11 percent increase request and New College of Florida's 15 percent increase. UCF was initially denied a 15 percent tuition increase, but was granted it after a revote at the end of the meeting.
