Iowa Board of Regents considers tuition increases - The Associated Press

The Iowa Board of Regents has proposed raising tuition at the state's three public universities by an average 3.5 percent, but the plan would give much higher increases to thousands of students. Iowa State University officials seek to expand the practice of charging different tuition rates for certain majors, such as science, technology, engineering, business and math. The proposal would have some students paying rates up to 33 percent more than standard tuition, the Des Moines Register reported . University of Northern Iowa, Iowa State and the University of Iowa have been employing differential tuition rates for more than a decade. http://www.sacbee.com/news/business/article207900194.html
