WIU Board Considers Cost Increase

The cost to attend Western Illinois University may go up next fall. Tomorrow the board of trustees will consider raising tuition, fees, and room and board by 1.7 per cent.
 

Under the university's cost guarantee program, entering undergraduate students will pay the same amount each year for all four years if they graduate on-time. 
The proposed increase for those attending WIU in the Quad Cities is 2 per cent.
Also on tomorrow's agenda is next year's student health insurance fee.
The board meets at 9 am, in Macomb. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
