As part of the state's proposed budget cuts, Missouri's public colleges were told to prepare for the posiblity that they may not receive funding for the months of May and June until the end of summer.
Tom Allen, a spokesman for Southwest Missouri State Unviversity, said the school has instated a mid-year tuition hike to help ease the affects of the proposed budget contstraints.
