Chancellor Marcelo Suarez-Orozco’s, the 9th at the University of Massachusetts Boston, was inaugurated Friday with Gov. Maura Healey at the ceremony that also had protesters calling out tuition hikes.
The UMass Board of Trustees Committee on Administration and Finance voted unanimously Wednesday morning to increase tuition for in-state undergraduates by 2.5% for the 2024-2025 academic year to $17,006, adding $415 to the bill of a student at the flagship Amherst campus, and slightly less at the Boston, Dartmouth and Lowell campuses.
