Despite a vocal and lengthy protest by about 50 students Tuesday, the Board of Regents approved an 8.3 percent tuition and fee increase for graduate and undergraduate students.

Student Regent Eric Anaya voted against the increase, while Regent Sandra Begay-Campbell abstained. Regents Larry Willard, Judith Herrera, Jack Fortner and David Archuleta voted for the increase. The tuition increase was part of an action item that includes a 10 percent tuition and fee increase for law and medical students and 6.5 percent salary increases for faculty and staff.
