The head of the state’s higher education agency Wednesday recommended a 2 percent tuition increase next academic year for Connecticut’s 12 community colleges and four state universities.
Board of Regents for Higher Education President Gregory W. Gray’s proposal would cap tuition and fees at 2 percent for the 2014–2015 academic year, and extend the increase through 2016–2017.
“The Board of Regents has made no secret of their goal to keep tuition as low as possible for our students—this proposal is in keeping with their vision and plan for our state’s system of higher education,” Gray said.
Gray outlined the proposal in a meeting with campus presidents Wednesday morning. The recommendation must first be considered by the board’s finance committee before going to the full board for approval.
