University of Iowa proposes tuition increase of 7 percent annually for 5 years - Andy Davis and Jeff Charis-Carlson, Press Citizen

A proposal unveiled Monday by University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld would raise resident undergraduate tuition by 7 percent each year for the next five years, a plan similar to one laid out last week by Iowa State University. According to the presentation made by Harreld to the Board of Regents' Tuition Task Force, that increase would mean a bump in base tuition cost from $7,486 for the 2017-18 school year to $10,537 by the fall 2022 semester, an increase of nearly 41 percent. Monday's was the final presentation given by the presidents of the state's three public universities that lay out their five-year tuition plans aimed at increasing revenue to offset dwindling state support. http://www.press-citizen.com/story/news/2017/08/14/university-iowa-proposes-tuition-increase-7-percent-annually-5-years/550527001/
