UofM wants to drop out-of-state tuition
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – The interim president at the University of Memphis is advocating changes that include dropping out-of-state tuition, increasing enrollment and graduation numbers, and adding online course offerings.
Interim President Brad Martin told The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/1gOlrOA) that he plans an “all hands on deck” meeting with university officials on Monday. He says the school will seek permission from the Tennessee Board of Regents to drop out-of-state tuition because the institution doesn’t gain “any significant revenue” from it.
Martin made the comments about his plans for the school while meeting Wednesday with the newspaper’s editorial board.
