U of I Faces Multi Million Dollar Federal Cutbacks
University of Iowa President Willard Boyd warned that Nixon budget reductions could cost the school about 12.8 million over two years. Health science programs and direct federal support would bear the heaviest losses, with student loan funds and tuition also hit hard. Officials outlined 1973-75 losses of 3.8 to 5.7 million in federal support plus nearly 1.2 million in tuition and 982 thousand in loans, stressing the impact amid prior financial strain. The Regents noted similar losses projected for the three state universities, guiding reliance on state funding.
