Tuition hike estimated at 8-10%
By CHERYL BAACKE
A top University official said he will recommend an
8 to 10 percent tuition increase for 1983-84 at the mon-
thly Board of Regents meeting which begins today.
Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost
Billy Frye said at least an 8 percent hike is necessary
to pay faculty salaries and utilities.
"I DO NOT see any possible way, given the
parameter of the situation, that (the increase) could
be less than 8 percent," Frye said. "We are
struggling very hard not to go above 10 percent."
Tuition increased 15 percent last year and 18 per-
cent in 1981, to offset cuts in state funding.
But state appropriations to the University for 1983-
84 are expected to increase by $13.6 million, which
Frye said would help keep tuition increases less than
10 percent.
THE STATE Senate passed Governor James Blan-
chard's proposed $761 million budget for 1983-84,
which included a 9 percent increase to the University.
The state House must approve the proposal before it
can go into effect.
The University would receive $158.2 million under
the proposed budget, which is a $13.6 million boost
from last year. Although the University was slated
for $150.2 million from the state, Blanchard cut $5.8
million from the University early this year, which has
made administrators reluctant to rely on state funds.
Frye said the 9 percent increase is a positive step,
but it doesn't compensate for an estimated 25 percent
