University of Illinois trustees approved a nearly 10 percent increase in tuition Wednesday, sending total costs to attend the school to more than $20,000 a year.
School officials also announced a plan to start a $100 million endowment for undergraduate scholarships, saying the school’s fund-raising had gone better than expected.
