300 college students bared it all below the ankle on Tuesday to prove a point -- cuts to higher education play right into a stereotype.

Meanwhile, the Senate is considering leaving university tuition flat

University of Missouri curators want to see more spending cuts in non-academic programs before they agree to increase tuition at the system's four campuses.

University of North Carolina students who pay in-state rates are facing a more than $400 tuition increase, despite President Barack Obama's warning that schools could lose funding if they don't find ways to keep costs down.

This is the University of Washington’s new math: 18 percent of its freshmen come from abroad, most from China. Each pays tuition of $28,059, about three times as much as students from Washington State.

Even though the details of his plan, which would require Congressional approval, will not be fleshed out until later this month, the idea behind it is sound.
