CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - University of Tennessee trustees say
the state can't afford to be a low cost value in higher education
and may need to consider double-digit tuition hikes.
University of Tennessee trustee Don Stansberry told the
Chattanooga Times Free-Press a 10 or 11 percent tuition increase
may be needed to maintain the quality of programs.
UT trustees are expected to make a final decision on tuition
increases at the board meeting in June.
Of its 13 peer institutions in the Southeast, the University of
Tennessee in Knoxville ranks as the eighth-lowest in tuition and
fees. UT's tuition was $6,250 this academic year, while the peer
average was $6,907.
