Student leaders from the University of Iowa Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa plan to attend a regents meeting to oppose proposed tuition increases. Full time students would pay 1706 at UI and ISU next year up from 1564 this year while UNI would rise from 1548 to 1690. Out of state undergrads would pay 5488 at UI and ISU up from 4900 and 4346 at UNI up from 3880.
