According to an e-mail from Stephen Bieda III, Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC) president, Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) has just voted to suspend the "top of the bottom 1/3 policy". This policy mandates the Arizona state universities not price their tuition any higher than the lower 1/3 of peer universities. Considering the importance of this policy in maintaining reasonable tuition and fee increases in the past, this is a bad sign for those of us who are paying for school.

Unfortunately, ABOR doesn't update its website often enough to get a good read on what this means for next year's tuition prices: http://www.abor.asu.edu/
Got a problem with the new decision? You can e-mail the regents at: universitybudgetcuts@gmail.com
