Boren Wants 9.7% Tuition Cost Increase

Tuition costs at the University of Oklahoma are expected to increase nearly 10% for the 2007-08 term if regents approve President David Boren's request. It would be OU's largest hike in tuition and mandatory fees in three years.

The board of regents meets this week in Ardmore, where they're expected to approve the tuition hike, which includes a 9.7% increase for in-state students and a 9.9% raise for out-of-state students. If the hike is approved, in-state students will have to pay $5,607 for 30 credit hours, an increase of $498.
