Tuition at Eastern Michigan University this fall will be up 13.5 percent from last year's rate under a new budget that also allows the university to issue bonds to cover improvements of campus buildings. The increase to students would have been only 9.5 percent, but the university needed additional money to repay debt created by the bond issue, the article says. Other increases at state public universities have ranged from 7.5 percent at Saginaw Valley State to 19 percent at Central Michigan . Wayne State is mentioned as raising tuition by 18.5 percent.
