Public university raises tuition, removes cap on insurance claims for sex-change operations

Public university raises tuition, removes cap on insurance claims for sex-change operations - The College Fix:
"Officials running the University of Minnesota’s student health insurance program have removed the cap on insurance claims for sex-change operations for the coming school year, a campus spokesman confirmed to The College Fix.
Another change for the 2015-16 school year? 
A tuition increase.
Under the new rates, in-state tuition, frozen since 2012, will grow by $180, while the nonresident rate will climb by $1,350, the Star-Tribune reports.
That’s a 1.5 percent increase for in-state residents, and a 7 percent hike for nonresidents, the Tribune added.
...At the University of Minnesota, the 2013-14 Student Health Benefits Plan covered up to $35,000 in gender identity claims.
During the last school year the cap was bumped up to $50,000 – according to the Minnesota Daily student newspaper.
But for the coming year, the 2015-16 Student Health Benefits Plan will allow students to submit any claim without limitation for gender identity therapies..."
