Texas State is growing in size, enrollment, and in national profile. But also rising is the cost of attending the university. In this Bobcat Update, Alex Ricard has more on a possible tuition increase.

More than 4,500 new freshmen are expected to enroll at Texas State this coming fall. Meantime, the university's facilities and academic programs need upgrades to keep up with the constant student demand. The Texas State University System's Board of Regents has proposed an increase in tuition and fees to be paid by students, starting in spring 2013. The budget plans will
be discussed in a meeting on May 24th at Lamar University in Beaumont.

The University has not indicated the extent the fees would possibly increase. Improvements to the library, the bus system and the university's graduate programs would be financed in part by the higher fees.
