Purdue Trustees Adopt 2024 Budget, Approve Tuition Freeze For 11th And 12th Consecutive Years Among Actions

With its ongoing commitment to the vision of higher education with the highest proven value, faculty and staff compensation increases, and strategic investments, Purdue University trustees on Friday (June 9) adopted the university’s operating budget for the 2024 fiscal year with revenues modestly exceeding expenditures.

Among other actions, trustees approved keeping tuition frozen at Purdue West Lafayette for the 11th and 12th consecutive years, rehabilitation of a Purdue University Airport runway and resolutions of appreciation, and ratified faculty and staff positions.

In addition, as the university approaches the beginning of the next fiscal and academic year, several leadership appointments were announced, along with a realignment of the Office of Engagement.

In his report to the Board of Trustees, President Mung Chiang recognized Purdue faculty who received sponsored research awards from January through April. He also provided updates to university finances, reputation, admissions and commencements. In national rankings released since the last trustees meeting, Purdue is ranked top 4 in the U.S. in both its College of Engineering graduate programs and in U.S. patents received. Chiang reviewed Purdue’s recent milestones in technology leadership and global visibility, and he explained the university’s ABCD for serving Indiana and the United States: Airport, Broadband, Corridor (hard-tech corridor) and D.C. He thanked friends of the university for their recent generous contributions.
