Crist reverses opinion on tuition hike
By JESSICA DaSILVA, Alligator Staff Writer
On Friday, Gov. Charlie Crist again switched his position on increasing tuition
in Florida when he said he would accept a proposed statewide tuition increase
of 5 percent.
If approved, the increase, which is about $55 per student, would be
implemented in January.
Steve Orlando, UF spokesman, said UF would welcome the increase.
"We've been saying for a long time that it takes more than we get in tuition to
keep building a great university," Orlando said.
In May, Crist vetoed a 5-percent increase proposed by the Florida Legislature.
