BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Nearly all of Louisiana's public colleges have met the performance standards required to raise tuition on students in the upcoming school year, according to the Board of Regents.
Two schools weren't approved Wednesday by the board as able to boost student costs: LSU-Eunice and Southern University at Shreveport, because they have been deemed as falling short of the standards required under the 2010 law authorizing the tuition increases.
Southern's Shreveport campus is appealing the determination, and a final decision is expected by the Regents by early August. LSU-Eunice won't be able to raise tuition in the fall.
Other campuses across the state will be able to raise tuition by 10 percent. The university system boards have to authorize the cost hikes, but that is considered largely a formality.
