UA will uphold their Assured Tuition Program, which means that 99% of scholars will face no enhance, in line with the ABOR web site.

Those that are new and persevering with non-resident undergraduates, not within the Assured Tuition Program, will see a 5.6% enhance.
The UA Assured Tuition Program is a “dedication to supply college students with a relentless tuition charge and obligatory charges … for eight consecutive semesters,” in line with the Assured Tuition Program FAQs web page on the UA Bursar web site. It’s mechanically utilized to all undergraduate college students who enroll in a bachelor’s (or second bachelor’s) diploma program. It’s relevant for resident, non-resident, freshman and switch college students. Extra info may be discovered on the bursar web site.
Moreover, UA graduate college students’ on-line tuition will enhance by 9% per credit score hour, and on-line undergraduates’ is not going to enhance in any respect.

The School of Veterinary Drugs’s first by way of three-year resident and non-resident college students’ tuition charges will rise by 3%.
Arizona Board of Regents approve UA tuition enhance; And different notes from the April assembly
“It’s a precedence to maintain tuition will increase low. Tuition and charge will increase are one small piece of institutional funding for our priorities, which additionally embody operational efficiencies, funding earnings and assets for auxiliaries, as outlined beneath our strategic plan,” UA President Dr. Robert C. Robbins mentioned in his March 11 proposal to ABOR.
In response to ABOR, NAU will maintain its Pledge Program, which permits 4 years of constant tuition charges for undergraduate college students. New residents and non-resident college students will see a 3.5% enhance in tuition, whereas incoming worldwide undergraduates’ tuition will enhance by 7.4% and graduates’ by 7.2%.
On-line ASU college students’ tuition will enhance by 2% per credit score hour whereas resident immersion college students will face a 2.5% tuition enhance. Non-resident tuition will enhance by 4%, and worldwide college students will see a 5% enhance, in line with the ABOR web site.
Of their official press launch, ABOR Chair Lyndel Manson mentioned that the board is conscious of the affect tuition will increase could have on Arizona college students and households, however that they felt that every proposal was pretty modest.
“The proposals reveal the joint dedication of the presidents [of each university] to prioritize Arizona, entry and high quality whereas shielding resident college students to the best extent potential from extraordinary inflationary price pressures,” Manson mentioned.

Arizona pastor hid cameras to record women using church bathroom: police
An Arizona pastor was busted for secretly recording videos of women using his church’s bathroom after the camera fell out of a dryer, according to police.
Arturo Laguna, a pastor at the Casa de Adoracion in Phoenix, allegedly installed the recording device in the church bathroom last fall and recorded the women in October and early November, according to a police report obtained by Fox 10 Phoenix.
The perverted preacher was only caught after a mother discovered the camera while changing her baby’s diaper inside of the strip mall church’s women’s bathroom, cops said.
Investigators later found screenshots of Laguna adjusting the camera inside of the bathroom. When police interviewed Laguna, he confessed to having put up the camera in October.
Authorities searched the camera’s SD card and uncovered four short videos of adult women using the bathroom, according to the outlet.
The pastor was arrested in November and charged with multiple counts of voyeurism — a felony in Arizona.
He was indicted last week and is scheduled to appear in court again on Jan. 9.
The Post has reached out to Casa de Adoracion for comment.
In October while he was allegedly filming the women, Laguna, who leads a largely immigrant congregation of about 100 people, spoke to the Associated Press about his faith community and the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

2025 NFL Draft: Arizona Cardinals will pick 16th in upcoming draft
If we had opened the 2024 season knowing the Arizona Cardinals would be an 8-9 team I think everyone would have been on board.
The part that is extremely difficult to deal with is how they arrived at 8-9.
We will have plenty of time to go through that, but for now, we look at a couple of things.
- The Arizona Cardinals improved from 4-13 to 8-9 in one offseason and let’s be honest the talent is still questionable at best.
- They have a really nice base of players, and a lot of money to fill holes.
- They will be drafting 16th in the 2025 NFL Draft as of now.
Oh yeah, that’s what this is about, the Arizona Cardinals enter the 2025 NFL Draft season with the 16th pick in the draft.
The San Francisco 49ers will pick 11th, the Seattle Seahawks will pick 18th, and the Los Angeles Rams will be TBD.
So, how has the 16th pick faired in the ‘20’s?
2020 – A.J. Terrell – Please ignore that he is one of the best corners in the NFL. The 16th pick stinks.
2021 – Zaven Collins – See! 16th pick stinks!
2022 – Jahan Dotson – Ok, maybe it does stink.
2023 – Emmanuel Forbes – I’m beginning to think it’s the teams making the picks.
2024 – Dallas Turner – See, I told you things were fine.
In all honesty, the players available at the 16th pick show that this pick can be of huge value. Now it’s up to Monti Ossenfort and company to realize that value.

San Francisco 49ers 24, Arizona Cardinals 47: Grades
Glendale, AZ — The San Francisco 49ers just lost 47-24 to the Arizona Cardinals. Here are the 49ers’ grades for this performance.
QUARTERBACK: D
Joshua Dobbs turned the ball over three times and was one of the main reasons the 49ers lost. He’s not a good backup quarterback and the 49ers should not re-sign him this offseason. And yet, he led the 49ers offense to 24 points on the road while playing with backups and against the Cardinals starters. As opposed to Brock Purdy, who led the 49ers’ starters to just 23 points at home against Arizona in Week 5. If Brock Purdy truly is worth $60 million per season, the offense would perform much better with him on the field than with Dobbs on the field, but it doesn’t. The 49ers need to keep their options open at quarterback. Extending Purdy to a big-money deal would be a huge mistake. This season exposed Purdy for what he is — a liability in the second half of close games.
RUNNING BACKS: A
Isaac Guerendo left the game early with an MCL injury — he may not be durable enough to succeed as an NFL running back. To be determined. After he left the game, Patrick Taylor Jr. replaced him and gained 109 rushing yards on 17 carries. No matter who the running back was this season, the 49ers were able to rush the ball effectively, which makes this 6-11 season all the more baffling.
FULLBACK: A
Kyle Juszczyk caught a 36-yard touchdown pass when he was wide open in what hopefully was his final game with the 49ers.
WIDE RECEIVERS: B
Jauan Jennings got ejected after committing personal fouls on back-to-back plays. After the game, instead of taking responsibility for his penalties, he said that the referees made a mistake. He seemed pleased with himself despite his team losing its seventh game in the past eight weeks. The 49ers are so undisciplined. Meanwhile, Ricky Pearsall had another good game — 6 catches for 69 yards and a touchdown. If only the 49ers had gotten him involved earlier this season, they might have won more than six measly games.
TIGHT ENDS: C
George Kittle played half the game and finished with 27 receiving yards. After the game, he said he’s going to talk to Kyle Shanahan tomorrow about Shanahan’s performance this season. When I asked Kittle how he thought Shanahan did this season, Kittle said he’d save his thoughts for Shanahan. Sounds like Kittle has something serious to say.
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN: B-PLUS
The 49ers averaged 4.9 yards per carry and Joshua Dobbs got sacked only twice. Not a bad performance considering all the backups who are starting for this unit.
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN: F
Went through the motions and sacked Kyler Murray zero times.
LINEBACKERS: F
Went through the motions and gave up 5.6 yards per carry against an offense that was missing its starting running back.
DEFENSIVE BACKS: F
Went through the motions and gave up 4 touchdown passes and a 128.5 passer rating to one of the most inconsistent quarterbacks in the NFL.
SPECIAL TEAMS: F
Played like they usually do, which means they got burned by a fake punt and Jake Moody missed his weekly field goal. How many games would the 49ers have won this season if their kicker were anyone else?
COACHES: F
The defense simply stopped playing for Nick Sorensen. Three weeks ago when the season was on the line, the defense gave up just 12 points in a loss to the Rams. Then the 49ers were eliminated from playoff contention. Since then, the defense has given up 116 points in the final three games. Shameful. The 49ers have no choice but to fire Sorensen now. Clearly, promoting Sorensen to defensive coordinator was one of Kyle Shanahan’s biggest football sins of the year. But Shanahan’s football sins were numerous. In today’s game, his team committed a whopping 13 penalties while the Cardinals committed just one. That’s because the Cardinals are well-coached and the 49ers are not. Shanahan can blame this humiliating season on injuries, but he should blame himself. His utter refusal to honestly assess himself and hold himself responsible for the Super Bowl collapse is precisely how the 49ers scapegoated Steve Wilks, replaced him with Sorensen and ended up 6-11. Now Shanahan has to figure out what went wrong, and his analysis must begin with a deep dive into himself. Will his ego allow him to look in the mirror, or will he continue to blame others for his failures? We’ll find out.
