An open forum to discuss the proposed 4.7 percent increase for University of Idaho tuition and fees for the 2014-2015 school year will take place at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in the Idaho Commons Aurora Room.
The event will include a presentation about the proposed increase from UI Director of Planning and Budget Keith Ickes.
“People should attend to learn more about what happens with their money and provide feedback on what they think about the tuition increase,” said ASUI President Max Cowan.
The Idaho State Board of Education will meet April 16-17 on the University of Idaho campus to discuss the proposed tuition increases for all four-year public higher education institutions in the state.
Boise State has proposed a 6.1 percent increase, Idaho State University has proposed a 3.5 percent increase and Lewis-Clark State College has proposed a 2 percent increase to tuition and fees.
Declining enrollment and state funding are among the reasons cited for the proposed increases.
