Henderson State raises tuition after deficit year by Emily Walkenhorst - Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

The increase is largely because of a $10 per credit hour tuition increase and a $2.50 per credit hour library fee increase, from $2.50 to $5, for improvements to Huie Library. The Arkadelphia universitywill also restore temporary cuts it made last year and raise faculty and staff salaries, spokesman Tina Hall said. Housing and meal plan prices will go up 3%, but it was unclear Friday what the annual dollar amount would be. Resident students who pay for unlimited meals currently pay $1,671. An increase of 3% would mean those students would pay $1,721 next year. Housing costs vary by residence hall, but the most common price for a double room is $2,081, meaning a 3% increase would require students living in those dorms to pay $2,143 next year. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2019/may/18/henderson-state-raises-tuition-after-de-1/
