Regents warn against expecting more state university funding
At an Ames meeting the State Board of Regents faced a strong warning from Rep. Richard Radi that higher education funding from the legislature is unlikely to rise. He urged cost cuts, stricter admissions, and a reassessment of spending, while others urged better communication between lawmakers and the regents. Critics also complained UNI may be shortchanged as funding decisions favored Iowa City and Ames campuses. The board pledged to review long range plans, tuition policies, and enrollment limits to align with budget realities.
