Vice President for Academic Affairs
Billy Frye said the 15 percent hike
proposed by his office is needed to of-

REGENTS traditionally have ap-
proved tuition recommendations made
by the administration.
Frye said the increase is needed
because he does not expect a rise in

Unlike the other schools and units targeted for
revenue due to inflation, Frye said.
The General Fund, supported by
state and tuition paynents, pays for
academic programs as well as faculty
and staff salaries at the University.
THE STATE, however, is not expec-

propriation until September.
At last month's Regents meeting,
Frye said that a tuition increase of 15 to
20 percent would be needed to make up
for lost revenue and provide an
adequate faculty salary increase. Frye
added that other universities in the
state are raising tuition by 10-20 per-
cent.
Although the tuition proposal will be
voted, on by the Regents tomorrow,
Frye said earlier in the week that ad-
ministrators plan to recommend that

process occurs to support that
decision."
"The review was lacking in any
