Proposed state tuition hike to stay at 5 percent
A proposed 5 percent increase to base tuition at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa will go to state regents for a decision next week.
The regents discussed the 5 percent proposal in February. The proposal remains unchanged, according to meeting information released Thursday. The regents meet Wednesday in Ames.
The 5 percent base increase for next year would make in-state undergraduate tuition $6,436 at the UI and $6,408 at ISU and UNI.
When mandatory fees are added, the total proposed increase is 4.7 at the UI, 7 percent at ISU and 4.9 percent at UNI. Out-of-state students would pay 3.5 percent to 6 percent more in tuition at the schools under the plan.
