Des Moines, IA- The Iowa Board of Regents will hear the first reading of proposed tuition increases at the three state schools at their meeting on Friday.
Radio Iowa reports that the proposal would increase in-state tuition by three percent at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University, and a two-and-half percent at the University of Northern Iowa.
That amounts to a $270 increase at the UI and ISU, and a 168 dollars at UNI. They are also requesting a 3% increase in mandatory fees at UNI, a 2.5% increase at ISU, and a 1.3% increase at the UI.
The tuition increase comes after the Regents requested 14-point-eight million more dollars in state funding and the Legislature approved a 12-point-three million dollar increase.
