The president of the Board of Regents laid out their plan moving forward on tuition increases at their meeting Thursday in Cedar Falls. Michael Richards says

the first reading of tuition will be in April, but the Board wait until June for the final reading so they know how much state money they have available. This will allow them to avoid another tuition increase in the middle of the year.

Richards says the Board also understands that Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa are different schools with different needs.

The board also determined then that it would ask for an additional 20 million dollars in state funding in the next legislative session.
