EKU budget strives to maintain academic quality, affordability - the Lane Report

In its regular meeting on Monday, June 25, the University’s Board of Regents approved a total 2018-19 budget of $353,813,686, down from approximately $358 million the previous fiscal year. Eastern currently derives 26 percent of its operating revenue from state appropriations, with the remainder coming from tuition and fees. Just 15 years ago, the ratio was approximately the reverse. Last fall, stating the desire to keep the “Eastern Experience” within financial reach of its students and families, EKU became the first public university in the Commonwealth to freeze tuition rates for the 2018-19 academic year. (Only one other state university followed suit.) https://www.lanereport.com/102924/2018/07/eku-budget-strives-to-maintain-academic-quality-affordability/
