OXFORD -- Friday, Miami University trustees voted to raise the tuition 1.5%, or $199, for the 2013-2014 school year for undergraduates at the Oxford campus. In-state students will pay $13,266 in tuition; out-of-state students will pay $29,056, also a 1.5 percent increase.
The state legislature had approved increases of up to 2 percent but, through efficiencies achieved on campus and an ideal to keep tuition affordable, the university aimed for a more modest increase.
Trustees also passed an operating budget for fiscal year 2013-2014 of $667,455,287. The budget includes aggregate merit and salary improvement increases for faculty and staff. David Creamer, vice president for business and finance services, reported that Miami spent slightly less on healthcare in the fiscal year ending June 30.
The university also made big changes for its tobacco policy. On recommendation of the Ohio Board of Regents, Miami trustees strengthened the universityâs smoke-free policy to make it a tobacco-free policy, beginning July 1. One exception to the existing policy, that of allowing employees to smoke in their personal cars on university property, will be discontinued as of Jan. 1, 2014.
