Likins may consider mid-year tuition hike
Elective courses will be cancelled next semester due to budget cuts
UA President Peter Likins announced at last night's ASUA meeting that he may support a mid year tuition increase if the state Legislature cuts funding to the UA by a substantial enough amount.
Although the exact amount of the funding cut will not be known until sometime after Nov. 13 - when the Legislature meets in a special session to discuss the state budget shortfall - Likins suggested that he could reverse his earlier stance, which unilaterally opposed mid year increases.
