IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The governing board for Iowa’s three public universities will discuss a plan that would raise tuition and fees by 1.75 percent next year. The Iowa Board of Regents will meet at the University of Iowa on Thursday for the second of a two-day meeting. Regents are expected to consider the tuition plan, but not vote on it until December.

It would raise the cost of tuition and mandatory fees for undergraduates from Iowa to $8,220 at the University of Iowa, $7,851 at Iowa State and $7,933 at the University of Northern Iowa. The proposal comes after the board has frozen tuition rates for the prior two years, for the first time since the 1970s.

The increase would cover the expected cost of inflation and generate $14.5 million in new revenues.
