While formal tuition proposals have not been finalized and likely won't be for a few months, higher education executives are already saying students will likely pay more next year. The comments come after Gov. Laura Kelly campaigned on a promise to support tuition freezes, but chose not to freeze tuition in a budget proposal that increases higher education funding — but not by enough to cover higher costs from inflation.
