Auburn Considers 12-percent Tuition Hike AUBURN AL (APR - Alabama Public Radio ) - Auburn University officials plan to ask trustees for a tuition hike.

AU officials say a 12 percent increase is needed because the university received about $41 million less from the state in this year's state education budget.

If trustees approve the increase at its meeting Friday, tuition for in-state students would increase by $333 and rise to $963 for out-of-state students. Students attending Auburn-Montgomery also would be affected.

Last week, trustees of the University of Alabama System approved a 14 percent increase in tuition for all three campuses this fall.
