Florida public university students will pay on average an additional $532 in tuition and fees for the upcoming school year that begins in the fall, the university system's board of governors determined Friday.

The university governing board approved a 15 percent tuition increase for the 11 universities Friday, bringing Florida's public university tuition more in line with the national average. The Legislature had already approved an 8 percent tuition increase, but the board tacked on an additional 7 percent at the request of the individual universities.
