The University of Massachusetts is on course for permanent mediocrity. The Globe reported this week that UMass campuses are likely headed for another 6 to 8 percent increase in fee hikes, on top of the nearly 16 percent increase two years ago. UMass Amherst?s in-state tuition, fees, room, and board are already among the highest in the nation for flagship universities, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. They are $1,726 more than the in-state charges for the University of Texas, and $4,838 more than the University of Wisconsin.
