DENVER—Administrators for the University of Colorado’s campus in Boulder are proposing an 8.6 percent hike for in-state tuition this year.
The Daily Camera reports ( ) regents responded Wednesday by asking CU-Boulder’s finance officers to come back with an alternate proposal for a 6.7 percent tuition increase. An earlier plan to raise tuition nearly 16 percent ran into opposition.
A vote on any tuition increase is not expected until next month.
Last year, the regents raised Boulder campus tuition by more than 9 percent for in-state undergraduates and 3 percent for incoming non-residents. That helped pay for raises for top administrators.
University officials have said the raises are needed to keep good educators.
