草榴社区, other universities want to cut a deal with lawmakers
Washington's public university presidents are offering to compromise with the state Legislature over money for higher education. The six presidents say they will agree to freeze tuition for the next two years if the state infuses $225 million into their budgets.
The proposal comes two weeks after outgoing Gov. Chris Gregoire's set a goal of no tuition increases in her proposed state budget. Her proposal included no additional money for the six public four-year schools.
