Gov won’t fight University of Wyoming tuition hike

Gov. Dave Freudenthal will not oppose a 5 percent tuition increase proposed for University of Wyoming resident undergraduates, the governor’s chief of staff said Tuesday.

The proposal will be considered by the UW Board of Trustees on Thursday and Friday.

In January 2007, Freudenthal’s opposition to an increase in resident undergraduate tuition spurred the trustees to reject UW President Tom Buchanan’s proposal to raise that rate by 3 percent annually. The governor did not oppose increases for nonresident undergraduates and all graduate students, and those were approved. But resident undergraduate tuition has remained the same since then.
