Fla. Gov. to universities: No more tuition hikes - GARY FINEOUT, Associated Press

Florida Gov. Rick Scott is putting the state's universities on notice: He wants to keep tuition rates down and he plans to tie their money to how well they do on helping students get a job. Scott made that point clear during an hour-long session Wednesday with the panel that oversees the state's 12 public universities. He called tuition a "tax" and noted that a majority of Floridians earn less than $50,000 a year. "I'm concerned about tuition, I think it's a positive that our tuition is lower than in other states," Scott said. "I want to make sure we continue to have a state where we have lower taxes and a lower cost of living." http://www.sfgate.com/news/education/article/Fla-Gov-to-universities-No-more-tuition-hikes-4018836.php
