It's not the best public university in Florida. But soon it will be the most expensive. The State University System's Board of Governors announced today that it's approved a tuition raise of 15 percent for Florida International University, and full time students will pay $4,669 a year starting next semester. FIU is one of four schools that had their requests of a 15 percent tuition hike (the max allowed under state law) approved. In a rare move we can actually agree with, Gov. Rick Scott strongly disapproves.
"It is my priority to keep the cost of living low for Floridians and have an education system that produces the most competitive, highly skilled work force in the world. And I expect our universities and the Board of Governors to seek those same goals."
