Students Rally to Protest Tuition Increase

Members of the Michigan State University Accountability and Transparency Initiative gathered outside the Hannah Administration building today to protest a proposed 9 percent tuition increase.

The rally was led by the group's founder, Horia Dijmarescu. The group's main objective was to call for the administration not to raise tuition by more than 2 percent.

Tuition for in-state students is currently $10,264. If he 9 percent increase is enacted, tuition will rise to $11,187. Out-of-state students pay $25,722 currently, which could be raised to $28,032.
