Comptroller Calls for Increase in OOS Tuition at SUNY

[iamhere]

<p>excellent point vehevala – sunys have only been able to keep 10-20% of the recent tuition increases – the rest of the money went straight into the state’s pockets – NOT the sunys’ – and on top of that they had to deal with state budget cuts!</p>

David Henahan, a SUNY spokesman, said system officials would review the report. He noted SUNY increased out-of-state tuition this school year (as well as in-state tuition). As for whether SUNY could use any increase in out-of-state tuition to defer increases for in-state students as the report suggests, he said SUNY faces legislative limits on how much revenue it can keep. He said SUNY was allowed to keep 10 percent of the 2008 tuition increase and 20 percent this year.

[State</a> report eyes SUNY’s out-of-state tuition rate](<a href=“http://www.newsday.com/long-island/state-report-eyes-suny-s-out-of-state-tuition-rate-1.1486465]State”>http://www.newsday.com/long-island/state-report-eyes-suny-s-out-of-state-tuition-rate-1.1486465)</p>

<p>any further tuition increases must be allowed to be kept by the sunys. anyone interested in the future quality of the suny system should contact their legistors about this NOW, before it is too late.</p>
