UConn is considering cutting its planned tuition increase for the next academic year. If the Board of Trustees approves the proposed change, the tuition adjustment would be cut in half to 2.2 percent, or $312 rather than the originally proposed $625, according to a statement on UConn’s website. UConn said it is considering this because of the coronavirus pandemic-related financial constraints many students and their families are facing.
