For the first time in 27 years, tuition will not increase next year for students at Washington State University.

The WSU Board of Regents on Monday rescinded a previously approved 2 percent tuition increase for the 2013-14 school year.

The state's 2013-15 operating budget, signed Sunday by Gov. Jay Inslee, states there will be no tuition increases at any of the state's public universities for the 2013-14 school year.

The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports that in the past four years alone, tuition at WSU has risen by about 70 percent, to about $11,000 per year.
