The Board of Regents of Washington State University will set tuition for the university’s doctor of pharmacy and nursing programs and establish service and activity fee rates for the 2004-2005 school year during its regularly scheduled meeting to begin at 9 a.m. today. The meeting will be on the Pullman campus in Lighty Student Services Building, Room 405.
Under the recommendation before the board, tuition rates for residents and non-residents in both the doctor of pharmacy and nursing programs would increase by 7 percent in the next academic year.
In June 2003, the regents adopted tuition rates for all other academic programs for the 2004-2005 academic year. Those will represent a 7 percent increase for resident undergraduates, a 5 percent increase for non-resident undergraduates and a 2 percent increase for most resident and non-resident graduate students.
The service and activity fee committees on each of WSU’s campuses have recommended a 2 percent increase in service and activity fees, to $409 yearly. The regents will act on that recommendation as well as on the fee allocations suggested by the individual campus committees.
The regents will consider design proposals for the NW Washington Research and Extension Center in Mount Vernon, for a multipurpose building for WSU’s Prosser facility and for WSU Vancouver infrastructure improvements. The board also will discuss a bond proposal of up to $16.75 million to fund the completion of the campus dining master plan project.
Also on the agenda is an interlocal agreement concerning the future use of the 78th Street Research and Extension Center in Vancouver. The Clark County Commissioners approved the agreement April 20.
At the end of the meeting, the board is scheduled to elect its officers for the 2004-2005 academic year. William Marler currently serves as president of the board.
