The Tennessee Board of Regents system has 70 low-producing university and community college programs under final review this year for possible elimination due to the low number of graduates. The review process is a part of TBR’s standard 3-year review cycle, which was put in place in 2003 as one of the system’s efforts to streamline its operations and reduce costs.

The Business and Finance Committee of the Tennessee Board of Regents today voted to recommend to the full board that tuition at five TBR universities (APSU, ETSU, MTSU, TSU, and TTU) be increased by 6% beginning this fall, with tuition at the University of Memphis increasing by 7%. A 6% tuition increase is recommended at all community colleges and technology centers. Tuition at the U of M Law School would increase by 14%, at the ETSU school of medicine by 5%, and at the ETSU School of Pharmacy by 9%.
