University of Tennessee Approves Tuition Hikes to Fund $3 Billion in Capital Projects
What happened
The Board of Trustees approved tuition hikes for all University of Tennessee campuses in Pulaski. Students at the Chattanooga campus expect an increase of over $300, representing roughly a three percent hike, while students at the Knoxville campus expect a roughly $150 increase, or about one percent. This decision was made as the University of Tennessee system is undertaking over $3 billion in capital projects across the state, including nearly $500 million in Chattanooga.
