FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The Kentucky Council on Post secondary Education is expected to approve tuition increases for the state's public universities and colleges for the 2010-2011 school year.

According to meeting documents posted on the council's website, council staff will recommend that the panel raise state resident undergraduate tuition and fees 6 percent for the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville.

Staff is also expected to recommend a 5 percent increase for Eastern, Western, Northern, Murray State and Morehead State universities, and a 4 percent hike for the state's community colleges.
