PSU is anticipating a tuition increase of 4.2 percent for full-time Oregon undergraduates starting next fall.
That could change if the Legislature approves the request by Oregon's seven public universities to allocate $755 million over the next two years. State support for higher education has been cut 38 percent since 2007.
"Oregon’s economy is in recovery, and it’s time for the Legislature to restore the cuts and keep tuition affordable," states a PSU press release.
