Lowest Illinois tuition hike in a decade

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

After a decade of steep tuition hikes, Illinois' public universities are looking at their lowest tuition increases since 2000.

The 11 campuses are raising tuition by an average of 7.1 percent, the smallest average increase this decade.

The "break'' comes after the schools walloped new students with tuition bills that were double and triple those from just a decade ago, a Chicago Sun-Times analysis of state data finds.

What a deal.
