The state Board of Regents is expected to vote next week on whether to increase a student fee enacted last year to stave off massive reductions in state funding. The board will meet Tuesday and Wednesday in Atlanta.
The proposed increase is between $50 and $100, depending on where a student goes to school. Students attending research universities like University of Georgia and Georgia Tech would pay $200 per semester.
Regents officials say the state is planning to cut another $163 million from the higher education budget as sales tax revenues continue to languish.
