MINNEAPOLIS – The University of Minnesota board of regents voted in favor of passing next year’s budget, which included tuition hikes and seven percent cuts to academic programs at all system schools.
The tuition increases range from a six-and-a-half percent hike for in-state students at the Twin Cities and Rochester campuses, a five percent jump in Morris, and a four percent increase for Crookston and Duluth students.
U of M President Dr. Rebecca Cunningham says the university system had to make tough financial decisions brought on by $42 million in federal research funding cuts and what she calls uncertain state funding.
Flag Family news reached out to university officials to see if any cuts are being made to athletic programs, but we haven’t heard back.
