Vote today on tuition increases at R.I. colleges

The Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education is scheduled to meet late this afternoon to vote on a proposal to raise tuition and fees at the state's public colleges and universities.

The proposal comes recommended from two of the board's subcommittees and is expected to pass. See the recommendation.

The plan would increase in-state tuition by 6 percent at the University of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College, and 8.7 percent at the Community College of Rhode Island. Out-of-state tuition would go up 7.5 percent at URI and RIC, and 8.9 percent at CCRI.

A last-minute increase in the proposed fees at RIC and CCRI was announced last week.

The Board of Governor's meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. at the Office of Higher Education in Providence.
