Tennessee Higher Education Commission Votes to Hold Tuition Flat at Tennessee Public Institutions in 2022-2023 Academic Year

For the first time in its history, the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) has voted to ensure no tuition increases at the state’s public institutions for the upcoming academic school year.

The Commission was able to take this action thanks to a historic $90 million investment from the state into the Outcomes Based Funding (OBF) Formula, the funding mechanism for Tennessee’s public colleges and universities. Tennessee public colleges and universities will also receive over $47 million to fund the state’s share of a four percent state employee salary increase.
