Marquette, MI - The Northern Michigan University Board of Trustees addresses several university issues at its regular meeting last Friday. The Board approved housing and dining rates for the 2016-17 academic year. The annual cost of a standard double-occupancy room and the “gold constant meal pass” dining option will be $9,604, an increase of $534 to cover inflationary cost increases and maintenance needs for housing facilities. Next year’s tuition is scheduled to be addressed at the board’s June meeting pending results of state higher education appropriations
Also, a resolution for construction and operation of new residence halls through a partnership with EdR, a national collegiate housing developer and manager was approved.
