Eyewitness NewsNEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (WABC) -- The chairman of Rutgers University's Board of Governors wants a lower tuition hike than the university has proposed. Ralph Izzo says the 3.6 percent tuition increase recommended by the board's finance committee is too high.
Izzo is asking the rest of the board to consider a 1.8 percent hike. He says the university would have to cut about $12 million in costs to meet the goal.
The board on Thursday is also considering fee hikes of 1.6 percent and room and board cost increases of 3.3 percent.In-state students who live on campus paid more than $23,000 last year.
Several students, faculty and staff criticized the board for looking at tuition increases as the number of top administrators and salaries of high-profile coaches grow.
