Radford might impose mid-year tuition increase
Radford University could hand its undergraduate students a 28 percent mid-year tuition increase if the school's board of visitors approves the measure next week.

If Radford's mid-year surcharge passes, it will follow in the footsetps of the University, as well as William & Mary and James Madison University, all of whom have imposed similar tution increases to offset budget cuts.
