Matt Blunt Backs Cost Certainty for University Students

Matt Blunt approves of a plan to lock in tuition rates for students:

Gov. Matt Blunt offered praise this morning for a proposal to lock in the tuition rates paid by students at the University of Missouri.

Last week, UM system President Elson Floyd announced that he would examine a plan in which incoming undergraduate students would be guaranteed that their tuition would not increase for four years or for the prescribed time to earn a degree.

Current undergraduates would have their tuition locked in for their remaining years at the university.

This common-sense move will help working students and their working parents to better afford an investment in the future. Or an English degree.
