Missouri Western State University Board of Governors will consider administration recommendations to refund tuition to resident undergraduate students.

The board will hold a telephone poll Wednesday morning to consider the recommendation made by Western Administration to refund a 1.74% ($3.35 per credit hour) tuition increase charged to resident undergraduate students this fall and permanently remove the tuition increase going forward.

The result of the poll is expected to be ratified by the Board of Governors at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

According to Western the board secretary will call members individually to record their votes.  At no time will board members be on the line at the same time and no discussion among board members is allowed to take place.  Western said an official press release will be distributed once there are enough votes to render a decision are counted.
