University of Illinois President Timothy Killeen wants tuition to stay put for University of Illinois students at the three system campuses.

Killeen says he will recommend the school freeze its base tuition for incoming, in-state freshmen for a fourth consecutive year. He hopes to slow the exodus of Illinois high school grads to college outside the state's borders.

If the University Board agrees, Champaign-Urbana tuition would stay at $12,000, Chicago $10,600 and in Springfield the tuition level would remain at $9,400.
