As Purdue University trustees Wednesday granted final approval to a two-year tuition freeze on its West Lafayette campus, the unanimously positive roll-call votes were shouted into a nearly empty room at the Stewart Center.
No one from the public spoke at the open forum on tuition and fees held in advance of the executive committee’s meeting, who also voted to approve changes in student fees, two percent tuition increases at Purdue’s regional campuses and a $1.24 billion conceptual systemwide 2014 general fund budget.
It was a scene that longtime trustees like Tom Spurgeon can’t remember experiencing. At the same forum two years ago -- the last time tuition changes were being ratified -- Spurgeon said he listened to a handful of people who came to express concerns that tuition had risen each year for more than 30 years.
