In-state undergrad tuition freeze part of $145 million WWU budget

For the first time in nearly 30 years, most students at Western Washington University won't see their tuition go up when the next school year begins.

The WWU Board of Trustees approved a more than $145 million operating budget for the school that included no tuition increases for resident undergrads - who make up 88 percent of students and pay about $7,500 for tuition - at its meeting Thursday, July 18.
