University of Minnesota regents on Friday approved a budget request that includes $182.3 million in new state funding for the next two years, in hopes of capping tuition increases at 4.5 percent.
The $1.42 billion request represents a biennial increase of more than 14 percent in the university's request to the Legislature. The university will revisit its budget and set tuition after the Legislature acts on the school's request. The 4.5 percent increase would be the smallest tuition increase in at least a decade.
