Tuition Up 7% at Athens State - Courier-Journal

The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of Athens State University met with the University’s Budget Advisory Committee last week to consider a recommended a 7% tuition increase beginning with the Fall 2014 semester. The increase was approved and will take the tuition rate from $167 to $179 per semester hour for traditional coursework and from $240 to $257 per semester hour for distance learning classes. “This is something we didn’t want to have happen, but we are a product of our environment,” stated Athens State President Bob Glenn. http://www.courierjournal.net/shoals_shorts/article_eca51c5a-eb35-11e3-8837-0019bb2963f4.html
