Illinois State University President Larry Dietz is not making a hard recommendation to the board of trustees about a fall tuition increase, but says looking at what other state universities already have approved, “My sense would be for a modest 1-2% tuition increase.”
He suggested a gradual increase would lesson the need for a more dramatic boost later.
At a trustees meeting on Saturday, the administration showed a slide showing a 1% increase in tuition for full-time incoming freshmen for the 2021-2022 academic year would take the cost of attending ISU from $25,169 to $25,421 a difference of $252, if approved.
