State Technical College raising tuition in fall - Bob Watson, News Tribune

The school's Board of Regents approved the increase Friday, with an anticipated cost increase from $280-$420 a year, depending on a student's class load. Chief Financial Officer Jenny Jacobs told the regents the $7 per credit hour was the maximum increase allowed under the calculations of Missouri's Higher Education Student Funding Act, which limits tuition increases to a calculation that includes the cost-of-living index and the average tuition rates of all Missouri colleges and universities. President Shawn Strong told the regents that, in the next five years, State Tech must increase revenues by at least $3.5 million — just to keep operating at the level the school has now. http://www.newstribune.com/news/local/story/2019/jan/19/state-technical-college-raising-tuition-in-fall/761778/
