U Of Minnesota Regents OK Request That Promises Tuition Freeze

University of Minnesota regents have approved a state funding request that could lead to a freeze on undergraduate tuition.

The Board of Regents signed off on President Eric Kaler's request of $1.18 billion over two years. That's up $91.6 million, or about 8 percent, from the current two-year period.

The Star Tribune reports that part of the increase would be used to keep undergrad tuition unchanged.
