The Millersville University Council of Trustees (COT), approved room, board and fees for the 2013-2014 school year at their regular meeting March 13.

The COT approved a $199/semester increase in total room and board charges. The current $4,617 a semester charge will increase to $4,816.  In addition, the COT approved increasing fees for undergraduates by $34.50 increase per semester.  The total fees per semester will be $941.25.  The fees could vary slightly, depending on tuition.  Tuition costs are set by the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education generally in June of each year.

“The University and the trustees were mindful of these continued difficult economic times and worked hard to keep the costs down.  The increase is due to personnel costs, normal inflationary increases in operating expenses and increases in utility charges,” said Roger Bruszewski, vice president for finance and administration.

In other action, the COT approved moving $500,000 from the University’s Soar to Greatness campaign to an endowment with the Millersville University Foundation with the annual interest directed to the University’s visual and performing arts program.  They also approved $5,000 in support of services to the Blue Rock Regional Fire Company and $3,000 in support of services to the Lancaster Community Safety Coalition.

The COT also approved emeritus status for Dr. Daniel Heslink, music (1983-2012) and they approved four new scholarships: the Dr. Rosario Caminero Scholarship, the Dr. Benjamin J. DelTito Jr.’77 and Anna DeBlois DelTito Scholarship, the Lois T. Morgan ’54 Student-Athlete Scholarship and the Drs. George F. and Helen A. ’64 Stine Sociology Scholarship.
