(SARASOTA, Fla.) Florida Gov. Rick Scott plans to discuss his stance against tuition hikes with the state board that oversees the state's universities.

Scott is scheduled to meet Wednesday with the Florida Board of Governors.

The board is also expected to hear from the chairman of a task force that Scott created to look at higher education. Scott set up the panel after he vetoed a bill that would have allowed higher tuition rates at the University of Florida and Florida State University.

The task force recommends charging different tuition according to the type of degree a student is seeking. The group also supports letting top universities charge more.

But Scott keeps insisting that he wants to avoid tuition hikes in order to keep college affordable.

Keep college affordable? What a farce! Students leave college now with loans so large they're obligated for as long as normal home loans, then can't find a job in P.Rick Scott's corporate friendly state to pay them off. On top of that the U. of F. has eliminated it's computer science program because of Scott's funding cuts. We can't invest in the future don't you know. Too bad P.Rick wasn't up for election on the 6th. There's a pooper scooper position in the panhandle he'd have fit into very nicely. At any rate the smell wopuld have been the same.
