Regents reject tuition plan shifting aid away from students
The Kansas Board of Regents declined to endorse a tuition increase to fund more need based aid. They note aid should come from the state general fund and warn that raising tuition could burden Kansas residents while maintaining access to state universities. The panel plans a 3 percent fall 2001 resident increase and 2 percent for non residents plus requests for $1.8 million yearly to fund the comprehensive grant program.
