The University of Arkansas Board of Trustees today approved budgets for the 2010 fiscal year. These included a 3.8 percent spending increase, to $389 million, for the flagship campus at Fayetteville, an increase to be met by revenues from an enrollment increase. There will be no tuition increase at Fayetteville for the first time in 24 years. And apart from a $2 increase in a facility fee, there will be no increase in any mandatory student fees for undergraduates.
