Des Moines Register: The Iowa Board of Regents on Monday approved a 2 percent tuition increase for resident undergraduates at Iowa’s three public universities. The regents also plan to raise tuition by another 2 percent for the 2017-18 academic year. The plan’s proposed 2 percent increase for the 2018-19 academic year would depend on whether the Iowa Legislature provides an additional 2 percent in state funding to the regent system next year. With the increase, the base tuition will increase next year to $7,270 at the University of Iowa and $7,240 at Iowa State University and University of Northern Iowa.
