Horne says tuition increases would hurt middle class

Tuition could be going up at Arizona's three major universities.

The Board of Regents will hear arguments from the three public universities on Tuesday, but it's unlikely they'll get a yes vote from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne.

Horne has a seat on the Board of Regents.

"The tuition isn't necessarily high as compared to other states. But nevertheless, I have always voted against tuition increases."

He says hiking up tuition hurts the middle class. "And I think we should be aware of that and operate more efficiently and not increase tuition."
