CHELLGREN Associated Press Writer FRANKFORT - Students at ' Kentucky's public colleges_ and universities will ·be paying higher tuition each of the next two years, but no more than expected, after a vote by the Council on Higher Education. The council also voted Monday to seek more than $100 million in additional funding from the General Assembly in each of the next two years. . Tuition will increase by $20 per semester for in-state stu dents in the University of Ken- · lucky community college system and $60 per semester for in-state students at the eight uni• versities. Larger increases were 1 approved for students in grad uate-prcigrami;, -professional ; schools and for all out-of-state . students. . _ · ·. The increases follow the council's longstanding policy of tying tuition to personal income levels and, as a result, avoided what would have been a pro- '. tracted debate over what finan- · ·· cial burden students· should bear · rfor their education.-- -- -, - j Earlier this year, some ed-' • ucators had raised the prospect of extraordinary tuition in• creases, in part to make up for what they feared would be con tinued inadequate funding from thestate.'·- ... ,·, ... ,_; .;•,,-, ·_:.-r Council · Chairman· .
