UI differential tuition plans raise costs for some Iowa students
The University of Iowa seeks larger tuition hikes for select programs after a Board of Regents proposal. Nonresident upper division business majors would pay $600 more and engineering $750 more, while resident undergrads face a $300 increase. Regents will vote Thursday. ISU and UNI proposals remain unchanged. The plan aims to fund top faculty and facilities amid state funding gaps. Gov Branstad criticized the pace of increases as too large. Local reaction centers on affordability for Iowa families.

Dakota Access moves toward Iowa construction despite permits
Dakota Access seeks permission to begin construction in Iowa as permits linger. Board members approved work where all authorizations exist while crews press on at multiple sites. The project remains under legal challenge with lawsuits from landowners and the Sierra Club, and a wildlife land stop order complicates one potential parcel. Local archaeologists urge protection of a sensitive site in Lyon County linked to Native communities. Dakota Access commits to coordinating with agencies to adjust plans as needed.
