Tuition at MSU could go up 7 percent for fall '08
"Students at Michigan State University could face a 7 percent tuition increase this fall, according to preliminary budget materials released by the university."
That increase, which would put average annual tuition at about $10,300, would be one of the lower ones of recent years. MSU has upped tuition by double-digit percentages twice since 2003.
An additional $12.6 million has been proposed to pay for faculty salary increases, an average 4.5 percent increase, in order to make them more competitive with salaries at other Big Ten schools. MSU salaries currently rank ninth out of 11.
"We don't want to have a compensation program that causes a brain drain," Simon said.
Is there no limit to the brain drain of Michigan taxpayers?
