The University of Massachusetts is raising tuition rates.
The school's board of trustees voted Monday to increase the cost by an average of 416 dollars for in-state undergraduate students, which will bump the total to an average of 14-thousand-253 dollars for the upcoming academic year.
That's a three-percent rise over the most recent academic year.
UMass President Marty Meehan says there will still need to be cost-cutting measures employed at all five campuses.
