<p>Gov. Scott and the legislature aren’t the only ones responsible for tuition hikes. Thursday, FSU president Barron and UF president Machen were at a state senate Higher Education committee meeting to get a bill passed that includes the “Pre-eminent Universities Act.” The act, if it does become law, will allow only FSU and UF now of the 11 state universities to increase tuition even higher than the now allowed 15% per year. Lucky us!</p>
