University of Arkansas proposal calls for higher fees and flat tuition

LITTLE ROCK—A University of Arkansas System proposal is calling for flat tuition and increased mandatory fees for in-state students at four-year schools.

The proposed tuition and fee rates were released Monday ahead of this week's system board of trustees meeting in Little Rock, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported .

Increasing fees would cause annual costs to rise by more than $500 in the 2018-19 year for students at the Pine Bluff and Little Rock campuses. Pine Bluff would see annual tuition-and-fee costs rise up to more than $7,840, while Little Rock would see such costs increase to nearly $9,440.

The Fayetteville, Fort Smith and Monticello campuses would see more modest increases in mandatory fees.
