Regents postpone decision on tuition amid funding uncertainties
The Iowa Board of Regents delayed a public decision on next year’s tuition after reviewing input from a summer task force. Leaders from Iowa City and Ames recommended sizable increases if state appropriations don’t rise, but regents insist on no revisiting 2018-19 rates once set and will delay a first reading until a solid proposal is ready. The 2018 session begins January 8 with lawmakers’ aid still uncertain.
