Iowa Regents OK steep tuition hikes for 84 85 year
With record enrollments and slow state funding, the Iowa Board of Regents approved hefty tuition increases for 1984-85, 12.5 percent for undergraduates from Iowa and 25 percent for non residents. Officials say the rise won’t trigger mass dropouts, citing strong demand, housing pressures, and broader state trends. Foreign students face larger relative jumps, potentially affecting cultural diversity in engineering and sciences. The Regents anticipate a bleak funding outlook and hope for modest future increases, aided by a slightly better financial aid package and early tuition decisions.
