In a story about the adoption of Wayne State's 2006-07 budget, comments are included from students and university administrators. Board of Governors member Paul Massaron proposed a 3.8 percent increase in tuition, saying that, added to last year's 18.5 percent increase, tuition has gone up almost 25 percent over the last two years. "Basically, it goes to the question of whether or not we could in fact operate close to the rate of inflation with regard to tuition increase," he said. Wayne State Provost Nancy Barrett said the increase is reasonable. "It is a bare-bones budget, basically giving our employees a modest cost of living increase," Barrett said. A sidebar graph is included showing tuition increase percentages for Michigan's 15 public universities, including Wayne State.
