Officials at the University of Massachusetts say they're holding off on setting tuition rates for the 2016-2017 academic year until after a new state budget has been finalized. UMass President Marty Meehan said Wednesday that the wait-and-see approach is best because it will let the university push for the strongest possible budget deal for the five-campus system. Meehan says the goal is to keep a potential tuition increase as low as possible.
