UNI Set to Reset Out-of-State Tuition at July Board Meeting
The Board of Regents will reset UNI's out-of-state tuition at a July 30 meeting. UNI sought 3 million dollars in September to fund a neighboring state rate to match in-state tuition for contigu ous states, aiming to boost enrollment and Iowa's economy by keeping graduates in state. The plan followed earlier state funding and faced pushback, with regents approving existing in-state and out-of-state rates at over twenty two thousand dollars after Reynolds rejected ongoing funding.
