The university
expects to graduate approximately 1373 students at May commencement exercises.
That includes 795 undergraduates, 536 graduate students and 42 doctoral
candidates.
Loyola Village will now house mostly graduate and upper class students.
The Board of Trustees moved the project’s emphasis away from faculty/staff
housing because of less than anticipated interest. Loyola Village will
open this summer and help eliminate the university’s severe student
housing crunch.
Tuition for undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Arts
and Sciences, the School of Nursing and the School of Business will increase
7.3 percent to $795 per unit in academic year 2002/2003.
To help offset tuition costs, USF-funded financial aid will increase by
10.2 percent ($1.6 million) next year.
The College of Professional Studies (CPS) and the School of Education
will share administrations for the next year. Larry Brewster, dean of
CPS, will also serve as acting dean of the School of Education effective
July 1. Current dean of Education, Paul Warren, announced his retirement
earlier this semester.

of Education to help run its Institute for Social Justice and Education.
