Students at public universities in Ohio may soon feel the effects of the state's new budget.
Governor Ted Strickland cut the tuition freeze from the budget he signed Friday.
Under the tuition freeze, the state gave schools money to cover what they would have made from raising tuition.
Now since universities will no longer get that money, they will be permitted to raise tuition 3.5% each of the next two years.
Washington State Community College officials say they will not raise tuition for the fall quarter but are considering it for the winter quarter.
"If we raise tuition 3.3% that's the equivalent to $2.50. So our current tuition is $76 a credit hour, which means it would go to $78.50 a credit hour," said Dr. Charlotte Hatfield, President, WSCC.
That averages out to about $115 more for a full year of classes for a full-time student.
