The LSU System Board of Supervisors will vote on a $13.8 million tuition increase for LSU System campuses today during its regular monthly meeting, according to a news release.
The potential tuition increases would impact each campus on a different level, with a $144 per semester increase at the University to a $387 per semester boost for students at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.
The increases, if approved, would mark the fourth consecutive year of 5 percent annual increases. The tuition hike was approved by the Legislature in 2008 as a way to minimize the impact of budget cuts on higher education.
In other action, the Board will also consider the approval of reports on LA GRAD Act agreements, a resolution to approve the ground lease and agreements concerning the construction of a digital media facility at the University and the construction of several suites at Alex Box Stadium.
The meeting will be held at 1 p.m. at the LSU System Building.
