(AP) University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe says he’ll recommend that tuition at the system’s four campuses not increase for the 2014-15 school year.
Wolfe said on Friday he’d send his recommendation to the Board of Trustees, who would likely take up the matter at a meeting next week.
The last time tuition remained flat was four years ago. The university system’s curators had been moving ahead on a plan that would have called for a 1.5 percent tuition increase.
Wolfe’s recommendation comes after Gov. Jay Nixon proposed earlier this week to put more than $80 million into higher education. But in exchange, Nixon called on Missouri colleges and universities not to raise costs.
