The Iowa Board of Regents is weighing a potential three-percent tuition increase for 2027.
The proposal comes as two bills advancing through the Iowa Legislature seek to freeze tuition rates. Governor Kim Reynolds previously directed the Board of Regents to examine the feasibility of a tuition freeze at the state’s public universities.
That study, released in November, found that similar efforts in other states have produced mixed results. Regents officials argue that tuition increases can encourage students to complete their degrees more quickly.
