The increase, which will raise tuition $625 per semester, will be used to support curriculum changes that were initiated in 1995, including coursework that emphasizes practice-oriented skills.
In addition to supporting the law school's new curriculum, funds generated by the tuition increase also will be used to enhance scholarship funds. The SUNY trustees have said that any currently enrolled law student who is unable to pay the new tuition will receive financial aid.
The increase, which takes effect with the spring 1997 semester, will raise annual tuition for in-state students from $6,100 to $7,350. Out-of-state students will see tuition go from $10,750 to $12,000 per year.
The recommendation for the tuition increase was approved by the UB Council at its Sept. 26 meeting before being forwarded to the SUNY chancellor and the SUNY Board of Trustees.
