Tuition Authority Approved for SUNY and CUNY

The New York Legislature has approved a plan to allow each campus of the City University of New York and the State University of New York to raise tuition by $300 a year for five years. The plan was a priority of Governor Andrew Cuomo and university leaders. The pattern in New York State has been for some years without tuition increases, followed by other years with large increases. Supporters of the plan said it would make it easier for both the universities and families to plan.
