Board of Regents set this week to take up tuition increases

Topeka — The Kansas Board of Regents will decide Thursday how much to raise tuition for the next school year.
Board spokesman Kip Peterson said it's a question of how much the increase will be at the six state universities, not whether there will be an increase.
Last month, the regents said an additional $17 million, or 3 percent, in budget cuts by the Legislature had to be made up with higher tuition. Some regents said the increases shouldn't exceed the amount needed to cover the latest round of budget cuts.
The regents promised legislators in March to freeze tuition for Kansas residents, under certain conditions. But they said last month the latest cuts made that impossible.

Not much of a back-story from the LJW. I thought this was a newspaper.
Amerika's Education-industrial Complex is well at work here, in league with the banking, business and insurance corporations who control the country. Nearly half of all American high school seniors aren't graduating, annually. Did you know that? Did you know that in-state tuition at KU is four-and-a-half times higher, in real, inflation-adjusted dollars, than it was forty years ago? Did you know that there are few decent jobs available for the poor kids who receive their degrees finally, with so much debt from student loans that they'll never be able to buy a house?
All this is brought to you by a Kansas Board of Regents and KU administration deeply in bed with the right-wing, neo-fascist corporate powers who own them, lock, stock and barrel.
Did you know that you're powerless to do anything about it?
Now turn on the television.

Higher Education - only for the rich and the poor. The biggest scam in the country. Put more on the backs of the middle class why don't you?
