State lawmakers are signing off on a plan to raise tuition at Florida's colleges.  House and Senate budget negotiators have agreed to raise tuition by 5% for students who attend schools like Gateway, Santa Fe, and the College of Central Florida.  Lawmakers did not order a tuition hike for UF and the state's other ten universities
      The budget anticipates the Board of Governors will approve increases of 15 percent for all or most universities. That's the maximum the board can approve on its own.
