Iowa’s public universities facing another $5.1 million cut - VANESSA MILLER, the Courier

After taking back $20.8 million in state appropriations from the Board of Regents in the 2017 budget year and then nearly $10 million for the 2018 budget year that started July 1, Gov. Kim Reynolds on Tuesday recommended slashing the regents’ current budget again by another $5.13 million. That reduction would bring state support for the Board of Regents, which governs Iowa’s three public universities and two special schools, from $565.4 million in the 2018 budget year to $560.2 million, according to a legislative analysis. http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/education/iowa-s-public-universities-facing-another-million-cut/article_f6778718-ce2e-586a-acd6-15dd32180638.html
