Administrators and regents outline possible tuition hike for University of Minnesota students

University of Minnesota administrators and Regents mulled tuition hikes Friday.

At the Board of Regents meeting on the Duluth campus, the University outlined preliminary tuition increases for Twin Cities campus students. Rates would remain the same for resident students across the system’s other four campuses.

For resident students, tuition would increase two percent, under the University’s budget framework presented Friday. Non-resident, non-reciprocity students would pay $2,221 — or 10 percent — more next year.

Regents say they want to move non-resident tuition to the middle of the Big Ten schools. With the proposed increase, the University would have the 13th lowest tuition out of 14 schools in the conference.
