MU in support of budget "flexibility" after bill filed to change tuition cap - Alyssa Toomey, Fox 22

University of Missouri leaders said they are in support of budget flexibility after a new bill was introduced that would lift the state cap on tuition. Sen. Caleb Rowden (R- District 19) filed the bill this week. He said the bill would give universities the flexibility to raise tuition in years when the state cuts funding for higher education. "We are definitely in favor of obtaining some type of flexibility to our budget," MU spokesperson Christian Basi said when asked if the university is in support of the legislation. Current state law limits the amount of tuition increases to the consumer price index. http://www.abc17news.com/news/mu-in-support-of-budget-flexibility-after-bill-filed-to-change-tuition-cap/688218321
