Senate regents clash over tuition increase plans in Topeka
A Senate Ways and Means panel debated university budgets as Regent Chair Shirley Palmer faulted the panel for proposing a 2 percent out of state tuition rise beyond the regents approved for fall 1993. She called it an unwarranted intrusion into tuition setting and warned the schedule was ill timed with printed fee guides. The committee pressed ahead with budgets for Kansas University and state schools, approving a KU Law credit hour fee rising to 40 dollars.
