Kentucky's largest public universities raising tuition to counter state budget cuts - ADAM BEAM, Associated Press

It will likely cost more than $10,000 per year for students who live in the state to attend Kentucky's largest public universities in the fall. The University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky boards of trustees approved tuition hikes of 5 percent for in-state students this week. It was the maximum increase allowed by the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, which must give final approval to all tuition increases. Leaders at the other public universities are considering at or near the maximum tuition increases. The increases come after the state legislature approved a 1.5 percent budget cut for higher education. And they come as Democrats and Republicans battle for control of the House of Representatives. http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/dd4cefce40b44def9aed6416dee0a1a5/KY--College-Tuition
