Delta State to raise tuition 5 percent, blames budget cuts - JEFF AMY, Associated Press

Delta State University wasn't going to raise tuition next fall, but President Bill LaForge said state budget cuts changed the university's mind. College Board trustees gave preliminary approval Nov. 17 to the 3,600-student university's plan to raise the price for two full-time semesters of tuition and fees from $6,418 to $6,733. Trustees are scheduled to vote on final approval later. Delta State charges Mississippi residents and out-of-state students the same price for tuition. http://www.sunherald.com/news/state/mississippi/article116862573.html
