UF, Florida State University and the University of South Florida all classified under Herbert's plan as national research institutions would be allowed up to a 10-percent increase above standard tuition. Those in the research category are allowed up to a 5-percent increase over standard tuition. Comprehensive universities will be allowed no increase above standard tuition. John McGovern, UF student body president, has not decided how and if UF's Student Government will support the Regents' suggestions for such tuition increases. There is no question that the tiered plan benefits every student.
Students have to get engaged.
McGovern said he plans on organizing several forums to let students speak out about tuition hikes before SG takes a formal stance on the issue. All rights reserved. No portion of The Alligator Online may be reproduced without the written consent of an officer of Campus Communications, Inc.
