INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana's higher education commission is recommending that the state's public universities keep their tuition increases under caps of 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent in each of the next two years.
The full commission voted on Friday to approve the guidelines that the universities aren't required to follow.
But state Higher Education Commissioner Teresa Lubbers says she is concerned about increasing college costs pricing out some people.
The Indianapolis Star reports the highest recommended tuition increases of 3.5 percent for in-state students are for Indiana University and Purdue University. The lowest cap of 2.5 percent is recommended for Indiana State University, Vincennes University and the regional campuses of Purdue and IU.
Lubbers said lower increases were recommended for campuses with high numbers of low-income students.
