Portland State University is taking the unusual step of reducing a planned tuition increase, saving each full-time in-state undergraduate student $90.
Tuition and fees in 2015-16 will amount to $8,034. That's up 3.1 percent from the $7,794 charged last year for a student taking 15 credits.
University officials say the increase, reduced from the planned 4.2 percent, results from the Legislature boosting funds for higher education. Portland State is the only public university in Oregon lowering its planned tuition hike, said Scott Gallagher, a PSU spokesman.
