Members of Washington State University Board of Regents met virtually and in person Thursday to review proposed tuition rates for the next academic year, athletic budgets and other financial planning. The board will decide whether to increase resident undergraduate tuition by 2.5 percent for the 2021-22 academic year at an open session today. The proposed increase would bring costs for undergraduate residents to $10,457, up from $10,202 the prior academic year. “It’s a balancing act,” said Stacy Pearson, WSU vice president for finance and administration. “We have to make sure we stay current on our budget and keep up with inflation but also be mindful of the impact it has on students.”
