PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The State Board of Higher Education has raised tuition and fees at Oregon’s seven state universities.
At the biggest schools — Portland State, Oregon State and Oregon — the charges will increase by 6 percent.
The universities’ governing board voted on Friday to approve the increases for the fall term in the face of a grim budget forecast.
At Eastern Oregon, tuition and fees will increase 2.6 percent. At Southern Oregon, the increase is 5.2 percent. At the Oregon Institute of Technology, the increase is 6.2 percent.
At Western Oregon, some students get a four-year tuition guarantee. They will face an 8.8 percent increase this fall and have no further increases. Other students will see a 5.2 percent increase.
