Meehan sees ‘reasonable’ increase in UMass student costs in 2016-17

STATE HOUSE — The University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees is expected to take up tuition and fee rates at a pair of June meetings, setting the stage for what UMass President Marty Meehan has predicted could be a "reasonable" rate increase.

Tuition and fees will be on the agenda at a June 8 Committee on Administration and Finance meeting in Boston and a June 15 meeting of the full Board of Trustees in Worcester, a UMass spokesman confirmed.
