Regents approve new sites for flood damaged UI facilities
The State Board of Regents approved the replacement of Hancher Auditorium and the construction of new University of Iowa School of Music facilities. The $276 million project, funded largely by FEMA, envisions downtown Iowa City sites with a purchase of private properties pending US negotiations. If deals fail, a backup plan to place the music school near the Hancher site will proceed.

Regents approve 6 percent tuition increase for Iowa universities
Regents vote 7-2 to raise tuition by 6 percent to counter a $132 million state funding shortfall since 2009 while rescinding a $100 surcharge for this semester. The move follows a possible $31 million state repayment, easing pressure but not closing gaps, as university leaders warn of ongoing cuts.

The board tabled the UI proposal and asked for changes, aiming to resubmit this spring. Regents noted prior programs varied by institution and discussed ages, service, and cost savings.
