TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Students at Kansas colleges might pay nearly the same tuition for the upcoming year as they did last year. Tuition proposals submitted Wednesday to the Kansas Board of Regents were generally the same as the last academic year. The regents will vote on the proposals next month.
This would be the third straight year that Kansas public universities kept tuition flat. And it comes despite concerns of major budget problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
For 2021, most colleges proposed keeping existing costs. Kansas State proposed a $57 increase for in-state students, while Emporia State proposed a nearly 30% decrease in out-of-state tuition.
