Kentucky college students may have to shell out hundreds more for this new fee - LINDA BLACKFORD, Herald-Leader

A proposed fee to help Kentucky’s public universities renovate and maintain aging buildings could cost college students hundreds more each year, even as tuition payments continue their steady climb. When Gov. Matt Bevin released his two-year budget proposal last month, higher education officials were pleased to see a $300 million bond issue that would help renovate aging buildings on Kentucky’s campuses. But to tap the proposed pool of money, public universities would have to raise millions more in a dollar-for-dollar match. They’re turning to students for the money. http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/education/article201329564.html
