Parents, Students on Edge Over Soaring Tuition

by Donna Gordon Blankinship, Associated Press Writer , February 2, 2010

Categories:

Some students are relieved at modest tuition increases this year, including 3.5 percent in Ohio, less than 5 percent in Pennsylvania, and 3.9 percent at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

So far a few states, like Oklahoma and Missouri, have avoided tuition increases entirely. And the Oklahoma Legislature gave its state universities no reason to complain when it fulfilled the state higher education budget request.

AP reporters David Mercer in Champaign, Ill., Dorie Turner in Atlanta, Bill Kaczor in Tallahassee, Fla., and Ryan Foley in Madison, Wis., contributed to this story.
