Iowa Regents, university leaders push efficiencies, tuition freeze - James Q. Lynch, Quad Cities Times

Leaders of Iowa’s three regents’ universities told lawmakers their continued affordability depends largely on continued state support, specifically a 4 percent increase in general fund appropriations. Their highest priority, Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter told members of the Education Appropriations Subcommittee Thursday, is maintaining the base funding of $479.3 million, $10 million for replacing one-time fiscal stabilization funds at the University of Northern Iowa with recurring funds and the 4 percent increase of $19.6 million to support student affordability. http://qctimes.com/news/local/government-and-politics/regents-university-leaders-push-efficiencies-tuition-freeze/article_7ac944c7-b5ad-565d-912d-efe747f589c5.html
