[SUPER=03-Radford;]
The University's Board of Visitors approved a 250-dollar tuition increase, effective next Spring.
The school this year found out its losing three million dollars from state budget cuts, but, officials say the tuition increase will make up more than half of that.
The rest will come from the elimination of about 55-workers, through an early retirement program.
If necessary, the university will also furlough ALL employees for up to two days.
Officials say it could save the school about 300-thousand dolllars.
