Two drafts have been prepared for the governor on the future of tuition hikes at Florida universities.
One backs up his veto of House Bill 7129, which was crafted to give universities -- primarily the University of Florida and Florida State University -- the power to seek unlimited tuition increases from their board of trustees and the state Board of Governors.
The second letter supports the pre-eminent university bill that university leaders said is needed to help improve the national standing of Floridas top schools.

With Newt Gingrich expected to announce next week that he is suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, he becomes the latest congressional insider to stumble in his pursuit of the White House.
Fox News reported on Wednesday morning that Gingrich will suspend his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday. With five primaries this week in the Northeast, Gingrich hoped to slow down Mitt Romney, the heavy favorite for the GOP nod, and the former congressional leader focused on Delaware -- where he still placed a distant second.
GOP congressional candidate Trey Radel, accused of being a "cybersquatter," said Wednesday that he is shutting down websites that carried the names of three rival candidates in District 19.
Radel's campaign also said it would surrender the rights to some 23 domain names of his opponents.
"We will be working on removing the content from the live websites today," Radel spokesman Matt Pusateri said Wednesday morning.
