Miami Herald: Suit filed over state schools’ tuition rates
Florida legislators should be stripped of their power to set tuition at the state’s 11 public universities, a lawsuit filed Friday by former Gov. Bob Graham and a group of university professors says.
Graham, a former U.S. senator, said the cost of going to Florida International University and other schools should be set by the 17-member state Board of Governors and that it is unconstitutional for legislators to annually set tuition rates. The Board of Governors was created by voters in 2002 to oversee the state university system.
