Senate Dems urge Branstad to keep regent rivalries out of funding
Democratic lawmakers urge Gov. Branstad to help keep Iowa three regent universities united over funding. The House approved a 984.1 million education appropriation for 2015, boosting Iowa State and Northern Iowa by 4 percent and Iowa by 2 percent, with tuition freezes tied to state support. Senate Democrats seek to restore a 4 percent boost for all three, arguing underfunding hurts affordability and quality.
