Budget negotiators reached an agreement on a proposal Wednesday that would freeze tuition increases at Kansas universities for two years, according to the AP.

Negotiators from the House and Senate agreed on a proposed $15.5 billion spending plan for fiscal year 2016. The budget negotiators agreed to avoid cuts to the six Regents public universities (Emporia State, Fort Hays State, K-State, Pittsburg State, University of Kansas and Wichita State) in exchange for a two-year tuition freeze.
