Kansas regents criticize budget cuts, hear requests for tuition increases - MARÁ ROSE WILLIAMS, The Kansas City Star

After lashing out at Kansas legislators on Thursday for cutting higher education funding, the Board of Regents heard requests for tuition increases from all six universities it oversees. Kansas State University proposed a 6.7 percent increase in tuition and fees for full-time undergraduate students who are Kansas residents, from $4,023.30 per semester to $4,292.70. The University of Kansas proposed a 4.4 percent increase, to $4,638.80 per semester. But 65 percent of KU’s returning undergraduates, who locked in their four-year tuition rate as freshmen, won’t see any increase. http://www.kansascity.com/2013/06/06/4277392/kansas-higher-education-officials.html
