6.9 Percent U of I Tuition Increase Up For Vote
(AP) -- A proposed tuition increase at the University of Illinois would generate about $22 million in the first year, making up just a fraction of what state government owes to the school.

University staff said Wednesday that the state owes $447 million.

University of Illinois trustees are scheduled to vote on a 6.9 percent tuition increase.

If the increase is approved, new students at the university's Urbana-Champaign campus would pay $11,104 a year in tuition in the fall. The cost at the Chicago campus would be $9,764, and in Springfield it would be $8,670.

Those figures don't include fees, room and board.
