IN A RELEASE FROM THE UNIVERSITY, THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS ANNOUNCED THEY ONCE AGAIN APPROVED A ZERO PERCENT TUITION INCREASE FOR ITS CAMPUSES ACROSS THE STATE.  THIS MARKS THE SECOND TIME IN THE PAST THREE YEARS THAT UT STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WILL EXPERIENCE NO INCREASE IN TUITION. “RISING INFLATION IS HITTING OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES PARTICULARLY HARD,” UT BOARD OF TRUSTEES CHAIR JOHN COMPTON SAID.  “DUE IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF GOV. BILL LEE AND OUR TENNESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY’S HISTORIC HIGHER EDUCATION BUDGET OF $137 MILLION, WE ARE IN THE FORTUNATE POSITION TO KEEP TUITION AND MANDATORY FEES FLAT FOR FY 22-23.”
