On Wednesday, the Kansas Board of Regents approved tuition increases for six universities. For the University, this means incoming freshmen will see a 4.4 percent change, making the cost per semester more than $4,600.
However, according to a Kansas City Star article, 65 percent of returning undergraduates will not see the effect of the increases because they are locked in with a four-year tuition rate.

Student-run station wins Lawrence award
The unique, diverse programming of JKHK 9.07 FM has helped it earn "Best Radio Station" in the 2013 Best of Lawrence awards.
The awards, organize by the Lawrence Journal-World and Lawrence.com, are more than 130 specific categories split into five broader groups: community, food, going out, retail and services.
Winners were treated to a reception downtown on June 13 and a special edition of the Journal-World listed full results. They can also be found online on Lawrence.com.
"Be it music, news or sports, we always try to put our own unique KJHK personality into things," he said in a June 17 press release. "This award is an affirmation of all the hard work of last year's group, and fuel for next year's group to continue the KJHK tradition."
Since it's inception in 1975, the station has promoted new independent music as well as provided news and sports coverage for the University and the Lawrence area. The nearly 180 student volunteers broadcast material every day of the academic year.
For Lucas Homer, a law student and KJHK manager, the award is tangible evidence of the station's success.
At KU Medical Center, tuition will hit almost $4,200, a 7.3 percent increase. The facility will also lose $8.3 million over two years.
The state legislature cut $66 million from higher education this year when states surrounding Kansas increased funding.
"There isn't any question that the tuition increases are higher as a result of the cuts made by the legislature," said Regents board member Fred Logan.

Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler, a senior from Paola, said he recognizes that it's a legislative
"Kansas higher ed does not exist in a vacuum, while our neighbors support education, we slash funding and force tuition increases," he wrote in an email statement. "I am afraid our legislature is prompting a 'brain drain' and we will lose a competitive edge economically in the future."

didn't want to do that," he said. "It's going to make it more difficult for families that don't come from an abundance of money."
According to the Star's article, students at the University and Kansas State University are pulling more than their fair share of financial weight compared to the state. For the past two years, more than half of the cost of educating an in-state KU student was paid for by tuition.
