For the first time, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education recommended levels of tuition increases the state’s public universities they feel should not be surpassed. Indiana University squeaked in just below the ICHE’s five percent recommended maximum. As WFIU’s Daniel Robison reports, the university is raising tuition not only to meet current costs, but in anticipation of decreased funding from the state in years ahead.

Daniel started as WFIU's Assistant News Director in July 2008. He graduated with a B.A. in history in 2007 and earned an M.A. in journalism two years later. Daniel hosts Ask the Mayor weekly and the occasional Noon Edition. He also hosts Morning Edition on Thursdays, sleepily. Daniel's beats include everything News Director Stan Jastrzebski wants him to cover. And it feels strange to type biography of myself in the third person like this. So that's that.
