WSU proposal would tie tuition increases to cost of living
Washington State University President Elson Floyd has proposed tying next year’s tuition increases to the cost of living — an idea that would likely mean some of the lowest tuition increases in years if the proposal was endorsed by the university’s governing board.
Floyd made the proposal to the WSU Board of Regents this week.
Under his proposal, tying tuition to the cost of living is contingent on the Legislature maintaining or exceeding current budget levels for higher education. The proposal will go to a WSU tuition policy committee for review.
