Rick Scott: 'We Most Hold the Line' on College Tuition Increases

On Monday, Gov. Rick Scott and Lt. Gov. Lopez-Cantera held a round-table in Miami Gardens to talk about the costs of higher education. Scott stressed the importance of clamping down on tuition increases.

We have to make college tuition more affordable, Scott said. This year we are working to not only make higher education accessible, but to also make it affordable for every family that dreams of sending their children to college. I want to get rid of the 15 percent annual increase and inflationary increase on tuition, so that more Floridians can afford to go to college and live the American dream. My goal for tuition is simple: we must hold the line.
