University of Minnesota officials are planning to ask the state Legislature for a boost in funding next session, which they say could extend the school’s already-active tuition freeze.
Securing state funding to prolong the freeze beyond the 2014-15 school year is one of the Board of Regents’ priorities for the year, Chair Richard Beeson said. Regents will also home in on other goals throughout the year, like continuing cuts on administrative spending and improving the Academic Health Center.
