Tuition increases for the 2011-12 school year will be voted on at a meeting of the Executive Committee of Virginia Tech’s Board of Visitors Thursday morning.

While tuition is usually set at the board’s scheduled meeting in March, the decision was delayed because of the state budget’s late release.

Among the proposed increases is a 9.9 percent increase of full-time resident undergraduate tuition, from $8,098 to $8,899. Full-time nonresident undergraduate tuition will see a proposed 5.3 percent increase, from $21,726 to $22,870.

Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski said the Roanoke meeting place was selected for travel convenience.

The committee will meet at 9 a.m. at The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center.

I guess I won't be sending my future kids to this school then if tuition is going to keep rising by 10% every year.
