Many Minnesota college students are set to pay a lot more for their education this fall. 

Minnesota State leaders in an 8-to-5 vote approved the biggest tuition increase in two decades Wednesday. They cited a $52 million budget gap and “tremendous uncertainty” for higher education right now as reasons for the increase. 

The University of Minnesota Board of Regents also voted on a new budget Wednesday including hefty tuition hikes across all five campuses. 

Hannah Reynolds with the Minnesota Daily was at the meeting and joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer on Morning Edition Thursday to run down potential program cuts and recount community reaction.
