The State Board of Regents office has released the proposed tuition rates for next year. The board will discuss proposed tuition increases of three-point-eight percent for the University of Iowa and Iowa State University and a two-point-eight percent increase at the University of Northern Iowa at their meeting next week in Council Bluffs.

Those increases will meet the promise of the board president who they would keep tuition rates for Iowa residents under four percent in the next academic year. The schools had talked this summer about tuition increases as high as seven percent after state funding was cut, and the board delayed setting rates two times as it waited to find out how much money they would get from the state.

The final vote on tuition rates would come in June.
