KU Tuition Benefit Could Expand to Spouses and Dependents
A study by KU researchers finds the university’s tuition help for faculty and staff is limited and largely unchanged since 1998. They recommend extending benefits to spouses, domestic partners, children, and dependents, increasing free credit hours to seven per semester, and removing doctoral-degree eligibility. The expansion could cost KU an estimated 1 to 2 million dollars annually, depending on state funding.
