Regents Cut College Cost Plan Faces Iowa Budget Reality
The report outlines a modest enrollment growth plan for the University of Iowa Iowa State and the University of Northern Iowa with about a 4 percent average salary rise after deductions and roughly 2 million to open new buildings under construction. The $229 million figure approved by the regents sits below the institutions’ request of $267 million and Gov. Ray has trimmed it to $219 million with possible further cuts ahead. The governor’s budget implies a 7 percent increase over current funding, not fully offsetting two years of inflation, and reserves room mainly for health sciences such as a new family practice department in the College of Medicine. The panel pressed the regents on faculty recruitment as the economy slows, noting the risk of losing top faculty.
