<p>In the long term this is going to help UF & FSU!</p>

<p>Does this bill allow the universities to increase tuition again if/when the national average goes up again? Or is the tuition max locked at today's national average cost?</p>

The tuition increase would only affect those students who enrolled after July 1, 2007.</p>

<p>For a full–time, in–state freshman taking 15 credit hours, a 15 percent increase would raise tuition from $1,893.75 to $2,177.85.</p>

<p>The bill would mandate that 70 percent of the revenue generated from the increase go toward undergraduate education, including decreasing the student–faculty ratio, increasing salaries for outstanding faculty members and increasing course offerings.</p>

<p>The remaining 30 percent would go toward need–based financial aid.

<p>Even with the increase it is still a whole lot cheaper than other universities at UF's level.</p>
