Portland State University could see the biggest tuition and fee increase at 8.9 percent, from $7,130 to $7,764. The statewide average increase in tuition and fees is 7.3 percent; tuition alone will see a 7.5 percent increase.
The increase eyed by the board is similar to increases at Washington and California schools.
Oregon’s public tuition rates are approved by individual institutions, the Oregon University System’s chancellor’s office and the State Board of Higher Education. The rate is determined by considering each institution’s operating costs, their previous year’s tuition increases and the state Legislature’s higher education allocation; this year has $743 million of state money designated.
