As roll was being called before the vote on tuition, Regent Mark Killian said “”I wore my funeral suit today.””
He added that in order to maintain quality, the university has to raise tuition and fees.
The regents approved tuition increase and the numbers are the same as proposed by UA President Robert Shelton.
The resident undergraduate tuition will increase $1,050 for the 2010-11 academic year.
Nonresident undergraduate and graduate tuition will increase $2,000.
There will be a $500 increase for resident undergraduates at UA South.
