According to the Denver Post, tuition for in-state students at Metropolitan State College of Denver will jump 22.6 percent this fall. The board of trustees for Metro State voted unanimously Wednesday to approve the increase, which will cost students almost $800 more a year.
Other Front Range colleges are contemplating steep tuition increases as well. Colorado State University will vote this month to boost tuition by 20 percent. The University of Northern Colorado is considering a 15 percent hike.
Metro State will cut 30 administrative positions this year, but Jordan fears further cuts next year will mean cutting degree programs too.
If those projections don't change, Metro State will ask for another 13 percent tuition hike next year, Jordan said.

It's the state of Colorado which has reduced educational funding all the way around. State schools were able to offer reduced tuition because of said funding and with it no longer being as much, schools must increase the tuition in order to remain viable. Its the way of the current world...
Come on DG, we won the debate. Let it go....
Current world...That makes DU and Metro over priced by 3000%.Scum thieves...all of them.
TABOR has killed Higher Ed funding in the state of CO. Coming from a tax cheat like Bruce in Somalia Springs, I'm not surprised.
