Clemson University trustees reduce tuition

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) – A vote by Clemson University trustees means reduced tuition and fees for the spring semester to avoid a state-imposed ban on construction at colleges that raised costs by more than 7 percent.

The school said in a news release that trustees voted Friday to roll back the 7.5 percent tuition increase approved in June.

President James Barker says the building moratorium has delayed construction on two projects, neither of which is being paid for with tuition funds.
