 The Colorado Commission on Higher Education will vote Tuesday on the Department of Higher Education's recommendation to cap tuition increases at 9 percent for research institutions, 7 percent for other four year colleges, 5 percent for community colleges, and 5 percent for students eligible for financial aid at any institution. However, the Joint Budget Committee of the state legislature will vote Monday on the state's higher education budget.
