Washington House committee takes no action on tuition-setting bill

A plan to let the University of Washington, Washington State University and Western Washington University set their own tuition was the subject of a state House committee hearing Tuesday in Olympia.

However, the state House Higher Education Committee did not vote on the bill and has not scheduled a vote. The Senate earlier approved the measure.

Without the bill, the Legislature will continue to set tuition for the state’s public universities. (AP)
