Summary
KU’s tuition is set to jump again—up 4.8% for in-state students and 5.3% for out-of-stateers—pushing Kansas residents to pay an extra $318 per semester for 15 credits. Officials blame slashed state funding and frozen federal grants, forcing them to rely more on tuition to cover rising staff costs. Even with the hike, KU will remain the most expensive public university in the state, costing full-time undergrads over $1,000 more per semester than in 2020. The Board of Regents votes in June—this could be the fourth straight year of tuition increases. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
