The University of Tennessee System Board of Trustees approved a budget Thursday that includes a 6 percent tuition hike.
For an in-state student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, tuition will increase $343 — from $5,722 last fall to $6,065 this fall.
The board approved the same tuition hike for UT Knoxville and UT Martin. The money will support a 1.5 percent pay raise for faculty and staff, plus scholarships, academic promotions, student support services and Knoxville’s Top 25 implementation plan.
That plan aims to turn UT Knoxville into one of the 25 best public research universities in the country.
