The 1.8 percent undergraduate tuition increase trustees approved is the lowest increase since 1984 and marks three consecutive years of increases at or below 3 percent—a first since the UT system was established in 1968.
A projected University of Tennessee funding gap has been cut from $377 million to $122 million, President Joe DiPietro told UT trustees, but more work needs to be done.
The meeting of the full board will begin at 1 p.m. EDT on June 22 in the Hollingsworth Auditorium on the UTIA campus. The meeting will be webcast live and archived for later viewing.
A proposal to hold tuition increases to record lows for three consecutive years is unprecedented in the history of the University of Tennessee system and on its way to consideration by members of the UT Trustees Finance and Administration Committee.
The University of Tennessee Board of Trustees Tuition, Fees and Financial Aid Committee is scheduled to meet June 13, at 3:30 p.m. EDT/ 2:30 p.m. CDT
