In a bid to boost his efforts to contain the mounting tuitions in the state, Governor of Florida Rick Scott added five new members to the university governing board. The new board members consist of four businessmen and one lawyer, who share similar views on education.

Scott has expressed concerns over growing trend of tuitions for higher education in the state. He believes that this would add to the burden of the middle-class families and wants to contain it as much as he can. He also has plans to run for the office again in the 2014 elections.

"I'm going to appoint people who believe the way I do, that we've got to look at every way we can to figure out how to keep tuition as low as possible," Scott said in an interview, according to Miami Herald.

The five newly inducted governing members for the state university will contemplate on implementing new policies for education. Most of the members will serve in this capacity for a seven-year term.

However, the appointments are subject to confirmation by the Florida Senate.
