Suresh Garimella

For the first time under this effort, nonresident undergraduates and graduate students would also be spared any increase in tuition or fees.

University President Suresh Garimella framed the decision as a response to the trust students and families place in the school, saying a world-class education should be within reach for every Wildcat.

He has also argued publicly that universities should spend tuition dollars with the same discipline families use when deciding whether they can afford college at all.

Provost Patricia Prelic said the freeze is paired with a focus on helping students succeed from enrollment through graduation and leave school with as little debt as possible.

So during the meeting, Suresh Garimella, who is the university's president, said, um, he made clear that the behaviors reported last semester were unacceptable.

The fraternity presidents need to step up and be accountable for the men in their chapters.

Now, by the way, that is also a very good, um, plan of attack, where if something happens, look at how we have all this liability, you know, with the, the campus if, you know, people get drunk or, you know, um, end up passing out or getting raped, et cetera, how the campus has liability.

Right now, I would say it's really important as, you know, in 2024, the university got new leadership.

We had President Suresh Garimella come in.
