The City Colleges of Chicago board is facing criticism for neglecting to disclose in a meeting agenda a tuition hike it approved on Wednesday, according to the Chi-Town Daily News.

The Daily News cited open-government experts saying the board could have violated the state’s Open Meetings Act; the board said not putting the tuition item on the agenda was an accident.
