tuition will
go up again
(Continued from Page 1)
$5 million over the target spending
figure that had been agreed on, Naf-
taly said.
Despite this, a number of colleges
have approved or are contemplating
tuition increases ranging from just
over 3 percent to 5 percent, he said.
"If universities are to receive from
taxpayers 13 percent increase on a
average, they ought to be able to
discipline their budgets in such a way
as to keep tuition increases down to
nothing," Naftaly said.
"We're just trying to send a
message out," he said.
"IF FACED with a research fund
that has no accountability to tax-
payers in it and large economic (aid)
increases with continual increases in
tuition, I'm leaning toward recom-
mending that (Blanchard) veto line
items related to all the universities,"
Naftaly added, making the message
clear.
Last year, universities complied
with the administration's request for
a tuition freeze.
Earlier this year, Blanchard asked
that tuition increases be held to the
rate of inflation. But Naftaly said the
budget passed by the Legislature con-
tains more aid than Blanchard was
contemplating.
Michigan's tuitions are among the
_ nation's highest.
