The Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents approved a tuition increase of 6 percent for summer term 2005 at its regular meeting today, June 21.
"Given the uncertainty (of the state appropriations picture), in lieu of recommending 2005-06 tuition and fee rates, we are recommending this increase as an offset to the known contractual cost increases that EMU will incur in fiscal year 2006," said Steve Holda, interim director of finance for EMU.
