INDIANAPOLIS -- Purdue University leaders on Tuesday faced a barrage of questions from state lawmakers about the university's recently set tuition and fees.

President France Córdova, Provost Randy Woodson and board of trustees Chairman Keith Krach sat in front of the State Budget Committee for about 45 minutes and answered questions about the 5 percent tuition increase for in-state students, a new $500 fee for first-time students, employee growth and other expenses.
