Despite hikes, tuition income falls short - Vanessa Miller The Gazette

Regent university expenses exceed revenues in fiscal 2017, report shows. With Iowa’s Board of Regents virtually certain to raise tuition again, the state’s public universities reported news this week that’s sure to complicate the debate over how much of an increase is appropriate: Despite hikes last year, they fell millions short in raising the tuition revenue forecast.

For the last academic year, resident students made up a larger proportion of enrollment than projected. http://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/education/higher-education/despite-hefty-hikes-tuition-income-falls-short-20171011
