WV Higher Ed delays tuition hike vote after governor objection
The Higher Education Policy Commission postponed May 30 action on all WV college and university tuition and fee increases after Gov. Wise objected. Marshall University sought a 4 percent rise while the commission rejected interim board recommendations for more than 6 percent. Wise supports moderated increases and a plan freezing community college tuition and capping undergrad hikes at 4 percent.
