Panel urges large increases in public college tuition
A Washington panel led by business executives urges public colleges to raise tuition to half instructional costs within four years. Current rates would rise from 413 to 996 at state universities and 309 to 803 at state colleges, with low income students receiving grants and others paying full fares. Critics warn higher costs will burden middle and lower income families.
