(Portland, OR)  --  Portland State University and the University of Oregon are getting tuition increases after all.  Resubmitted requests for tuition hikes by the two schools have been approved by the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission.  Portland State will receive a tuition increase of eight-point-37 percent for the 2017-18 academic year, and the University of Oregon will see an increase of eleven-point-48 percent.  The commission voted to approve the increases after receiving assurances that the universities would lower tuition if Oregon lawmakers increase state investment in higher education.
