Ky. Community College Tuition Just Got Higher

Those wanting to attend community college in Kentucky will have to dig a little deeper, as the Kentucky Community and Technical College System Board of Regents voted to raise the wages of faculty and staff by 2 percent, and tuition itself by 2.86 percent.

Those full-time employees of Kentucky's 16 community and technical colleges will get a raise of $1,000 or 2 percent, whichever is larger. That assumes a positive evaluation for the workers.

Residents of Kentucky will get a tuition boost of $140 to $144 per credit hour.

President of Kentucky Community and Technical College System Board of Regents, Michael B. McCall, approved of the increases on Friday.
