Budget cuts add stress to Iowa State - Jake.Dalbey, Iowa State Dailly

Times are tough for regent universities in Iowa as statewide budget cuts present dilemmas that not only lead to tuition increases but also cause large losses of state funds. In total, the three Iowa public universities will lose $21.4 million in state appropriations, with Iowa State losing upward of $9 million. As a result, several projects have been put on hold on campus in order to keep the university’s budget in balance. During the February Board of Regents meeting, Iowa State President Steven Leath addressed the cuts and their impact on the university. http://www.iowastatedaily.com/news/politics_and_administration/state/article_60054af0-2ab5-11e7-9791-03c438030ccd.html
