IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Days after Gov. Terry Branstad called a proposed tuition increase too big, the board governing Iowa’s public universities released a change that would make it even bigger for some students. A revised Board of Regents plan would hit University of Iowa engineering and business school students with larger tuition hikes and generate $1.2 million more in revenue in the coming school year.

The plan maintains a $300 across-the-board hike for undergraduate students at the schools who are state residents. That’s on top of a $200 increase already approved in December for University of Iowa students. The new plan would further increase tuition by $200 for second-year students who are in the UI business and engineering schools. For upperclassmen in those colleges, tuition would rise by an extra $350 or more.

SCHLESWIG, Iowa (AP) – A Minnesota man has pleaded not guilty to shooting at two Iowa deputies during a standoff.  The Sioux City Journal reports 45-year-old James Champion, of Mankato, Minnesota, entered his written plea Monday. He’s charged with two counts of assault on a peace officer with a dangerous weapon in a March 9 standoff in Schleswig.

Crawford County sheriff’s deputies say Champion pointed a rifle at them and threatened to shoot after authorities went to check on him. He later opened his door and pointed a rifle toward officers and fired once.

Lt. Corey Utech returned fire, hitting Champion twice in the torso. Champion was flown to an Omaha hospital for treatment and released. Utech was cleared of any wrongdoing.
