At the time of this public notice, the 2022 General Assembly is still in session and a final state budget for the 2022-24 biennium has not yet been adopted. State budget actions are often a key factor in the setting of tuition and fee rates. For planning purposes, the University of Mary Washington (UMW) is considering a potential increase in tuition and fees between 2% and 6% for 2022-23. Revenue from a tuition and fee increase in 2022-23 will support additional funding required from UMW for state-mandated compensation actions for faculty and staff. These compensation increases are reflected in the state budget under consideration by the General Assembly. In addition, the incremental revenue will support increases in the minimum wage, state fringe benefit rate changes, inflationary cost increases impacting the cost of goods, materials and services, and state administrative system charges for financial, human resources and information technology services. As currently scheduled, UMW’s Board of Visitors will vote on the 2022-23 tuition and fee rates at its meeting on April 8, 2022. The Board of Visitors will hold a public comment period at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 17, 2022, at the Jepson Alumni Executive Center Rappahannock Ballroom. This will be a time for members of the public, as well as members of the University community, to share their thoughts with Board members.
