The University of Minnesota may raise the cost of earning a college degree.
Interim President Jeff Ettinger’s budget for the next fiscal year proposes to slap a 4.5 percent tuition hike on in-state undergraduate students studying at the Twin Cities campus. If approved by the Board of Regents, that would be the highest annual tuition increase for Minnesota residents since 2010.
Students at other campuses would also pay more money.
The total increase in tuition, room and board and fees for Minnesota residents would raise costs by an additional $453 to $1,552 per year, depending on the campus. For Twin Cities undergrads who reside in-state, tuition could increase by 4.5 percent to $15,148.
Two weeks remain in an election-year legislative session — and fewer days that lawmakers can take action on bills on the floor.

An ethics case against DFL Sen. Nicole Mitchell could dictate how the final weeks go. That hearing Tuesday, which will also include discussion of a complaint filed last year against GOP Sen. Glenn Gruenhagen, of Glencoe, is scheduled for Tuesday.
On Saturday, a group of high school students in Rochester celebrated a traditional Mexican rite of passage — but in a non-traditional way. The student group Latinas Unidas at Mayo High School joined forces with neighboring John Marshall High School to host a “community quinceañera.”
The Latines Unides club was having one of its regular meetings — just coming together and eating snacks — when their adviser gave them a push to do something big, said Rebecca Guerra Velásquez, a senior at Mayo High School and the club’s co-president.
The idea for a community quinceañera was born.
