OSU To Ask For Tuition Hike

Ohio State officials want a tuition hike for this fall. The administration plans to ask the Board of Trustees to approve a 3. 5 percent tuition increase for resident undergrads and graduate students. OSU officials say mandatory fees will be frozen for the second year in a row. The University Board of Trustees is expected to approve the hike at its June 22nd meeting. OSU Executive Vice President Joseph Alutto says undergraduates will see a yearly increase of $312 a year bringing the tuition and fees to just over 10-thousand dollars annually.
