Lincoln University raising cost of room and board

Room and board at Lincoln University in Jefferson City will cost more, starting in the fall.

The university’s curators voted Thursday to increase room rates by $80 per student for fall and spring, and $40 per student for summer.

Board rates will increase $50 per student per semester, with no change for summer students. A student living in a dormitory for fall and spring semesters would pay $260 more a year.

The vote comes two months after the curators voted not to increase in-state tuition.
