The Murray State University Board of Regents during a special meeting Friday voted to allow the university administration to increase tuition and mandatory fees up to 1% if necessary. The board also swore in a Murray dentist as a new regent.
President Bob Jackson said an increase of 1% to tuition and mandatory fees would generate about $650,000 across undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs, with a net cost increase of about $60 to $65 for each student.
“We have many deferred maintenance, asset preservation projects and renovation areas we need to focus on.including the Curris Center,” Jackson said. “Last year, we had a zero percent increase in faculty and staff raises, and we hope to be able to recommend faculty and staff raises.”
