INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-State university leaders faced criticism over recent tuition hikes.

IU Bloomington and Purdue West Lafayette are among the schools under question. The Higher Ed Commission recommended 3.5 percent tuition hikes. Several schools opted for hikes as high as 5 and a half percent, in the last year.
