The Record
Tuition and fees at Rutgers University, already one of the most expensive state universities in the country, will rise 3.3 percent this fall under a spending plan that is the first to reflect its merger with the state’s medical school.
The $3.6 billion budget for the 2013-14 school year that the Rutgers board of governors approved on Thursday reflects an increase of 61 percent over last year’s $2.2 billion spending plan, the last one the board approved before the university absorbed most of the debt-laden University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey on July 1.
