    The number of unpaid internships has climbed in recent years, leading federal and state regulators to worry that more employers are illegally using such internships for free labor. ">

    Gloria, I figure it is always useful to post some major websites from time to time since they occasionally get overlooked.

  • 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

  • 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.
