Eugene Ore. – The University of Oregon’s plan to increase to raise in-state undergraduate tuition by more than 10 percent has been rejected by the state Higher Education Coordinating Commission
Under state law, public universities can raise tuition by no more than 5 percent without state approval.
The commission also rejected a sharp tuition increase by Portland State University, but did approve increases for Western Oregon University, Oregon Tech and Southern Oregon University.
Oregon State University and Eastern Oregon University plan to raise in-state tuition by less than 5 percent, so they don’t need state approval.
