Trustees approve tuition and student fees in single‑issue meeting; administration to take endorsement to state board
Summary
At a special meeting the trustees approved the 3.5% tuition increase and the student-fee recommendations; the administration will present the endorsement to the Utah Board of Higher Education next week and provide follow-up materials requested by trustees.
The University of Utah Board of Trustees convened a special meeting to consider proposed tuition and fee changes and approved both the tuition package (3.5%) and the student fee recommendations.
Chair Echols called the meeting to order, heard the administration’s presentation and called for motions. A trustee moved to approve the proposed tuition; after a second and an audible vote the chair announced, "The motion passes." The trustees then moved and seconded approval of the student fee package and similarly approved it by voice vote.
Trustees asked for follow-up information: Tony Wagner said he would supply an average cost-to-graduate figure on request, and the administration will take the board’s endorsement to the Utah Board of Higher Education next week. The meeting record in the transcript includes audible affirmative votes but does not show a complete roll-call tally for each trustee.
