Iowa regents' delayed decision on tuition hikes could put students in a bind - Kathy A. Bolten, DesMoines Register

A decision on how much to raise tuition rates at Iowa's three public universities won't come until June, leaving students and their families just a few weeks to make financial plans before the start of the 2018-19 academic year. While the Iowa Board of Regents is slated to discuss next year’s tuition rates at its Feb. 21-22 meeting, a final decision isn't expected for another four months, a board spokesman said. The board postponed a planned October discussion on tuition rates because it said it needed more time. Presidents at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa each have proposed tuition hikes over the next five years ranging from 1.75 to 11.7 percent. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/education/2018/01/04/tuition-rates-expected-june-iowa-regents-schools/1003882001/
