The Cornell Board of Trustees approved a set of planning parameters for the 2002-03 budget at its meeting in New York City, Jan. 25, that calls for a 5 percent tuition increase for most endowed Ithaca students.
The 5 percent increase sets tuition for Cornell's endowed undergraduate and Graduate School students at $27,270 for the 2002-03 academic year. This tuition is now $25,970.
"The university is facing significant budget pressures this year. In order to continue providing the high-quality education for which Cornell is widely known, and which assures our position in a highly competitive environment, the trustees have approved this tuition increase," said Cornell Provost Biddy Martin. "The administration and trustees are committed to keeping tuition increases as low as possible, while maintaining the excellence of our programs and the distinction of our faculty. At the same time, adjustments will be made in Cornell's institutional student financial-aid allocations to adjust for the rate increases."
Ithaca campus professional school tuition and other fees for 2002-2003 approved by the trustees include:
Contract college tuition rates will not be considered by the board until further review of state budget proposals by the state Legislature in Albany
