<p>The state adopted a budget last week in the final hours. It wasn't as bad as it could be for higher education. Originally one party proposed a 4% cut in funding. It was essentially flatlined for this fiscal year by using federal stimulus funds. </p>
<p>Here is what the IDS is reporting today: idsnews.com</a> | Indiana Daily Student |</p>
<p>I know many of you are OOS. I've looked in a few places to find that proposed rate. Can't find it yet.</p>
<p>Here are the proposed increases. Not bad at all for Bloomington campus OOS compared to past years. Between 5.6-5.9 percent depending on program. Of course, with the economy so bad, any increases will be felt.</p>
<p>Business and Music students–the best programs–are getting biggest increases for in-state students at Bloomington.</p>
<p>OSS at IUPUI and some other campuses got clobbered. I guess IU felt like Bloomington OOS couldn’t take anymore huge increases like they have seen recently. Kelley OOS IUPUI students increase almost eleven per cent each of next two years.</p>

<p>Thanks, bthomp1. Looks like in-state engineering (19.2%) and law (graduate) (24.5%) students also got clobbered.</p>
<p>I can handle 5.9% OOS at Kelley–a great relief after the past two years of 9%+.</p>
<p>Just out of curiousity Calcruzer–how does the increase compare to CA increases or are they still unknown at this time? </p>
<p>I noticed the clobbering of the law students and Kelley instate grad students. Ouch.</p>
<p>California is still debating their budget–even though the law requires they had to be finished by June 30th (7 days ago).</p>
<p>The state controller has said that he will start paying the state’s bills with IOU’s starting Wednesday if a budget isn’t completed–and all the school districts (both K-12 and college) are still waiting to see how much money they will receive–and therefore waiting to approve their own budgets and set their tuition rates.</p>
