The Kansas Board of Regents unanimously reaffirmed its commitment to support the freezing of state university tuition for Kansas residents for the upcoming academic year.
“The tuition freeze will directly benefit Kansas resident students in all six of the universities in Kansas,” said Kip Peterson, director of government relations & communications for the Board of Regents.
According to a Board of Regents press release, the tuition freeze would be possible if there were no further budget cuts to higher education, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ recent veto of budget restrictions is upheld and no additional unfunded budgetary mandates are imposed.
Peterson said legislation would convene in two weeks to further discuss the decision to uphold the tuition freeze, but that the budget and decision would not be finalized until May or June.
“They’ll be working on it again,” Peterson said. “The Board won’t make a final decision until the budget has been put to bed.”
The Kansas Board of Regents also approved the Jayhawk Generations Scholarship, which will waive partial tuition for students that meet certain academic requirements and are the children or grandchildren of Kansas alumni.
