Legislature pushes for more higher education funding to keep Oregon tuition hikes down
June 28, 2017 /
State lawmakers appear close to approving a $736.9 million budget for public universities that would nearly halve the proposed tuition increases for some undergraduate Oregonians this fall, saving students hundreds of dollars a year.
The spending plan, which passed a key legislative hurdle Wednesday, includes nearly $70 million more in operating support than Gov. Kate Brown’s proposal, which left funding flat. That plan was criticized by university presidents, student groups and faculty unions.
