Board of Trustees meeting will focus on tuition, parking issues
Undergraduate tuition is the main part of the agenda for Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting.
Steve Smith, director of public relations, said there are many variables he is sure the trustees will discuss about tuition, including the declining number of students covered by the CMU Promise.
“That’s a discussion the Board of Trustees will have to have,” he said.
*have not set 2010-2011 tuition rates
Eastern Michigan University announced they would not raise tuition or room and board in April. Michigan State University originally had a 4.9 percent tuition raise planned for students this fall but reduced it to only 2.5 percent. The University of Michigan raised tuition 1.5 percent for undergraduates, the lowest increase for the university in 26 years.
Smith said he was sure how other universities were raising tuition will be taken into consideration by Trustees.
“I’m sure they will have a serious discussion about this in the next day or two,” Smith said.
Also scheduled to come up at the board meeting is changes to some of the roadways.
Several stop signs and yield signs are set to be added to parking lots and service drives across campus.
