Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye said the 15 percent hike proposed by his office is needed to of- fset expected losses of state ap- propriation this year. REGENTS traditionally have ap- proved tuition recommendations made by the administration.

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.
