IU trustees voted Wednesday to approve a two-year increase for undergraduate Indiana resident tuition and mandatory fees. A slightly higher increase of 1.9 percent was approved for regional campuses in Gary, Kokomo, New Albany, Richmond and South Bend.

The IU increase come as Purdue University is extending its tuition freeze for a sixth year and cut a fitness fee to reduce the standard bill for West Lafayette students to just under $10,000.
Meanwhile, the Ball State University Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved a 1.25 percent tuition increase for in-state undergraduates, the school's smallest hike in more than 40 years.
The board also approved a 2 percent increase in the salary-funding pool for faculty and professional employees. An additional $180,000 will be allocated specifically for faculty promotions.
