Rolling in the dough at UA

In the 2003-04 school year, the University of Alabama increased tuition by 16.25%. In 2004-05, it raised it another 12.2%. This year, unsatisfied with a whopping 17% increase in dollars from the state (amounting to $25 million), President Witt and the University are asking for yet another increase - 8.5% for in-state students and 13.2% for out-of-staters. The increase, which will be considered by the UA Board of Trustees this Friday, is expected to bring in an additional $12 million per year for the University.
