UF rationalized the idea, saying out-of-state rates have not increased in over a decade.
“UF is seeking to increase out-of-state student fees to address rising operational costs and to ensure all students make an equitable contribution toward the world-class educational experience and services expected of Florida’s flagship institution.”
Currently, UF reports that non-resident undergraduate students pay a $707.21 fee. If the fee increase passes, it will rise to $777.93.
Despite the proposal, UF said its cost of attendance will remain among the lowest in the country for out-of-state students.
