TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Florida State University's Board of Trustees will meet Friday with plans for the 2018 - 2019 school year and beyond.
WTXL's Karah Bailey was live on the FSU campus to discuss $1.7 billion dollars and a 3-year plan to move FSU from 33rd in the nation to a top 25 public university.

FSU boasts having one of the highest four-year graduation rates in the nation, with numbers in the top 15.
One FSU goal is to continue a strategic campaign focused on increasing faculty, graduate education and research.
And to do that, they will need a healthy budget.

The university also includes a request to keep existing tuition and fee rates the same for the coming semesters.
