University of Missouri curators delays vote on tuition changes
ST. LOUIS • Breaking ranks with tradition, the University of Missouri Board of Curators will not vote on tuition and fee changes for the four campuses at this week’s meeting.
The curators will discuss the issue of a tuition increase but will hold their vote until sometime in May after the Legislature finalizes the budget.
The spring meeting at the Missouri University of Science and Technology campus in Rolla is scheduled for Thursday and Friday. This is the first meeting for university system President Mun Choi, as well as three recently confirmed board members, Darryl Chatman, Jeff Layman and Jamie Farmer.
The curators are considering waivers to increase tuition at a rate that’s greater than allowed by a statewide cap.
