AMHERST A student-led group at the University of Massachusetts is objecting to a proposed increase in tuition for out-of-state students, as well as rising room and board fees for all students, that will be considered by the UMass board of trustees this week.
The UMass-Amherst Debt-Free Future Campaign is writing letters to trustees and administrators in advance of the Wednesday morning meeting in which action will be taken on a recommendation from the trustees’ Administration and Finance Committee. That recommendation is for approving adding $537 to the $17,889.50 out-of-state tuition per semester and $266 to all room-and-board plans each semester.
