Wayne Patterson says UVM may raise tuition seven percent next year to keep pace with inflation. A larger increase hinges on a $500,000 state boost, unlikely amid a fiscal crisis, with possible budget cuts despite an approved plan. Current tuition is 1100 for residents and 2930 for nonresidents, rising to 1180 and 3140 if enacted. Vermont diesel tax and vehicle registration reforms also advance.
