Purdue University officials announced a plan Thursday to increase tuition for both resident and nonresident students.
The proposal calls for a $388 or 5% hike for resident students and a $1,394 increase for nonresident students.
Randy Woodson, executive vice president for academic affairs and provost, said most of the tuition increase will go to student aid and faculty support.
"The faculty make Purdue a world-class institution and attract students who aspire to a truly competitive education. We will invest in programs that help ensure our students are successful and improve retention and graduation rates. We also will enhance our investments in financial aid to keep Purdue affordable for all students," said Woodson
To trim its budget Purdue has frozen pay increases for the coming year and cut 150 positions.
80 of the cuts were vacant positions, 50 were graduate assistant jobs, the other 20 were mostly non-faculty staff.
There will also be new academic year fees added to student accounts if the Purdue Board of Trustees approve the increases after a July 13th public hearing.
As for other schools, the Commission for Higher Education is also recommending tuition increases at IU and the University of Southern Indiana to be no more than 5%.
4% for Ball State and Ivy Tech, and 3.5% for Indiana State and Vincennes University
