Nebraska regents expected to raise tuition with budget vote

Budget details — including proposed tuition rates and spending cuts — have not been made public in the agenda materials but are expected to be released Tuesday.

University President Hank Bounds has told lawmakers that the loss of state aid comes as the university system is hit with increases in costs tied to health care, utilities and union agreements.

The university convened 10 working groups to look for efficiencies, consolidations, eliminations or other options within university operations such as human resources, communications and information technology.
