Senate group drops tuition bill in Illinois
The Illinois Senate Education Committee dropped a bill mandating across the board tuition increases for public colleges. The measure proposed by Rep. Richard Walsh would set rates by law and cut governing boards out of setting tuition, with freshmen to pay about 360 a year and graduates about 480. A tuition study will be launched for committee action next year, while a Board of Higher Education plan to raise resident tuition by 75 is to be implemented this fall.
