Regents chief says plan aims to improve state funding fairness
Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter urged calm about a proposed funding shift that would tie 60 percent of state higher education dollars to resident enrollment across Iowa's three public universities. The change would phase in over 2 to 4 years starting 2016, with caps on interuniversity transfers to maintain recruiting balance. He emphasized UI can compete, while noting room to improve in-state recruitment and campus welcoming efforts.

Regents weigh performance based funding shift for state universities
The Board of Regents considers a funding model splitting 60 percent by Iowa resident enrollment, 15 percent by each university's progress and attainment, 10 percent by access, 5 percent by job placement and continuation of education, and 10 percent at the regents' discretion. Iowa City leaders push for parity while Rastetter signals possible revisions ahead of a June 4 Ames decision.
