The 9th chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Boston, Marcelo Suarez-Orozco, was officially inaugurated on Friday with Governor Maura Healey in attendance. However, the ceremony was also marked by protesters speaking out against the increase in tuition.

The UMass Board of Trustees Committee on Administration and Finance unanimously voted Wednesday morning to raise tuition for in-state undergraduates by 2.5% for the 2024-2025 academic year, bringing it to $17,006. This will add $415 to the bill of a student at the flagship Amherst campus, and slightly less at the Boston, Dartmouth and Lowell campuses.
