Iowa Governor Branstad proposes fixed prices for college degrees - Jason Noble, DesMoines Register

Gov. Terry Branstad wants to add a prix-fixe menu to the degree offerings at Iowa's three public universities. Branstad, a Republican running this fall for an unprecedented sixth term, announced new proposals at Iowa State University here on Tuesday aimed at making higher education more affordable and giving graduates a new option for paying off their student loan debt. The most eye-catching element of the plan is a fixed $10,000 price on popular majors for in-state students at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/elections/2014/09/09/terry-branstad-higher-education-governors-race/15338145/
