Regents to vote on tuition hike
BY RYAN TUTAK
Tuition will skyrocket 12 percent next year
if the University's Board of Regents approve
Provost James Duderstadt's proposed 1988-89
fiscal year budget this morning. But the pro-
posal alarmed some regents.
"A 21 percent increase will not sit well
with the public," said Regent Deane Baker
(R-Ann Arbor).
Regent Neal Nielsen (R-Brighton) said
out-of-state tuition should be increased more
than in-state fees. Even with the larger hike,
the University would remain underpriced for
out-of-staters compared to private universi-
ties, he argued.
Duderstadt disagreed, saying such
differentiation would deter University efforts
to achieve ethnic and geographic diversity.
"It's our sense that the tuition rate will affect
the marketplace," he said. "It's a question of
quality."
The proposed increase - the steepest
since the 15 percent hike amid the 1982
recession - would cost in-state undergradu-
ate students an extra $300 each term, while
out-of-staters could pay up to $1,200 more.
The situation for graduate students looks
worse. MBA candidates may see a 13.6 per-
cent tuition increase, and graduate pharmacy
students could face an added 15.2 percent.
Duderstadt said tuition must be boosted to
offset the minimal state funding that's been
projected. The University requested a 21 per-
cent increase from the previous year. But
Governor James Blanchard proposed to up
state allocations here by only 0.8 percent,
slightly lower than the State House's recom-
mendation.
"It really reflects a very weak budget year
in the state of Michigan," he said, adding that
the state will decide upon appropriations for
the University next week.
