University presidents in Idaho have pledged not to raise tuition for the 2020-21 academic year so long as a higher education budget proposed by Gov. Brad Little is approved by state lawmakers. Key features of the proposed budget include restoration of almost $15.4 million that was cut last year as part of a 5-percent holdback on education spending in response to the pandemic and $2.1 million for enrollment workload adjustment. The latter would be based on the average number of credit hours taught by each institution over the last three years. The move would mark the second consecutive year that Idaho universities declined to raise tuition.
