Private Iowa colleges face consolidation to survive funding
An Iowa educational survey warns that private colleges with small endowments, many under $200,000, likely must merge or shift to cheaper programs as running on fees alone becomes untenable. Endowments below $200,000 are common, with only ten exceeding it and some with none. The commission predicts a shrinking private sector but continued enrollment growth in high schools and tied public support, urging increases in public funding for higher education.
