University of Northern Colorado projects $597 average undergrad cost hike for 2018-19 school year - Tommy Wood, Greeley Tribune

UNC has consistently raised tuition in part because it has failed to meet the enrollment targets it set for its five-year fiscal sustainability plan. The university's goal was to hit 15,000 students by fall 2018; this budget projects 13,246 students in the fall, which would be a 2.1 percent increase from last year. UNC's failure to hit its enrollment target, coupled with significant investments in recent years left the university with a $5-million-plus deficit in 2018-19. And because UNC can't increase tuition at the rate it previously could, it's crunching other areas. Faculty and exempt staff salaries are being frozen, except for promotion-based raises. https://www.greeleytribune.com/news/local/university-of-northern-colorado-projects-597-average-undergrad-cost-of-attendance-increase-for-2018-19-school-year/
