Bill would require justifying tuition hikes

By Gwyneth K. Shaw, The Baltimore Sun

WASHINGTON – The Republican-controlled House was expected to pass a measure today that would require colleges and universities to justify large tuition increases and let Washington know how they plan to hold down costs in the future.

Supporters of the provision, which is part of a broader higher education bill, say it would offer more information to prospective students and their parents and give them a better idea of how much they can expect to pay.
