UT President John Petersen is meeting with the Executive and Compensation Committee of
the UT Board of Trustees today. What could he be saying to them?
From the Tennessean:
Students will probably feel the budget crunch the way they usually do, through a tuition increase.
This time, however, college administrators aren't pursuing across-the-board increases. Petersen said he would propose removing the tuition cap for full-time students taking more than 12 hours, or typically four classes.
Students currently can take up to 18 hours at the same rate as 12 hours. They would be charged for all those hours under the new proposal.
"It may be something we should have looked at before," Petersen said. "Sometimes change isn't very easy to do when times aren't arduous."
