The Florida Democratic Party said Bush "oversaw average in-state tuition increase of 48.2 percent during his tenure."
Says Jeb Bush "oversaw (an) average in-state tuition increase of 48.2 percent during his tenure."

We came up with 56.9 percent ourselves, counting the strict cost of tuition per hour over the eight years Bush was governor. That hike doesn’t beat estimates of the nationwide average at the time, however, and in-state, undergraduate tuition was still quite a deal compared to other states when Bush left office.
