Chipola Students could face Tuition Hike

If the recommendations of state lawmakers on two key committees are accepted, students at Chipola College could see a significant increase in the cost of attending school next year.

Key leaders in both the House and Senate are recommending a 6% increase in tuition for students at Florida's colleges and universities, even as they recommend cuts in the budgets of those schools.

State lawmakers appear to be moving toward approval of a plan that would cut expenditures, replace some funding with lottery monies and then increase the tuition price being paid by Florida's students and their parents by 6%.

The measure will require approval by the full legislature and must be signed by the governor before it takes effect.
