As a follow up to my post earlier this week, Gov. Nixon's office announced on Friday that 2-year community colleges will be included in a tuition freeze program, similar to the one announced on Tuesday for 4-year institutions. This freeze guarantees 4-year (and now 2-year) public univerties and coumminity colleges in Missouri will see no more than a 5.2% funding cut for next year. That guarantee applies if they, in turn, agree to freeze tuition costs for students.
Both agreements are still subject to approval by the state legislature.
