Budget cuts hitting private college and university students - Dar Danielson, Radio Iowa

Iowa college students returning from holiday break are paying more than they originally budgeted for tuition in the new semester. A one-hundred dollar surcharge now applies at Iowa’s three public universities and fall semester tuition may be up to 6% higher. Governor Chet Culver’s 10% across-the-board cut to balance the current state budget lopped 10% from state tuition grants, which also affects Iowa’s private college students.
