UConn adopts balanced budget for next fiscal year but scraps plan to cut tuition increases in half - AMANDA BLANCO, HARTFORD COURANT

 The discussion follows the unexpected announcement of former President Tom Katsouleas to step down after clashes with the board. Board members had previously pushed back against a proposal of his to cut a scheduled tuition increase of 4.3%, or about $625, in half for in-state students this coming fall. They cited concerns about potential revenue loss and requests from UConn administrators to delay further discussion on the issue. As of Monday’s talks, the proposal will not move forward.
