2009tuitionbill

shared by Lynn Powers on 30 Jan 10 - Cached
  • Florida's state universities will be able to increase tuition rates up to 15 percent annually until they reach the national average under a new law signed by Gov. Charlie Crist.
  • Crist, university officials and the Florida Student Association supported the tuition bill (SB 762), saying rates that now are among the nation's lowest must go up to improve quality, help pay for need-based scholarships and stop a brain drain of faculty to other states that pay better.
  • 8 percent statewide increase
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The national average is $6,585 -- more than twice Florida's tuition even with a full 15 percent increase this year.

    Article about Crist signing 2009 tuition bill

    This was an important policy in terms of higher education funding. The tone of the article seems to reflect that the 15% increase will be an annual event for some time to come. It will be interesting to see if the President's call for Pell grants to be increased or subsidized will occur to help with tuition costs.

    Video from Channel 9 news and 32K spent on palm trees to beautify UCF campus. 3/2009. Dr. Boyd, do you have an opinion on this?
  • Tammy Boyd on 01 Mar 10
     
    I'm afraid to state my opinion on this! I understand how frustrated many faculty, staff and students are by spending on palm trees in the middle of a recession, but I also understand that many physical plant projects come from one capital budget or another, and the funds cannot be transferred to the operating budget. I am inclined to give the administration the benefit of the doubt...I hope that the money spent on those palm trees came from a capital budget or an environmental grant. If they came from the E&G budget, people should be upset!
