Regents holding the line on tuition - Rapid City Journal

The average South Dakota student graduates from college with more than $25,000 in student loan debt, according to the South Dakota Board of Regents. Seventy-eight percent of students in the class of 2012 were in debt with student loans when they graduated, according to the Institute for College Access & Success -- the highest rate of student debt in the nation. As college costs continue to skyrocket, the Board of Regents is trying to do what it can to ease the financial burden on in-state students by freezing tuition at the state’s public universities for the second year in a row. http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/opinion/editorial-regents-holding-the-line-on-tuition/article_c8e25004-0135-59c8-b16e-4a847aeca910.html
