The Board of Regents will hold a meeting Wednesday to set the preliminary tuition rates for the three state schools.

The board requested 18 million dollars from the Iowa Legislature — but the budget approved provides 12 million dollars.

The tuition increases proposed include three-point-nine percent at the U-I and I-S-U, and no increase at U-N-I. There are some individual programs where the schools are proposing a slightly higher increase — for instance — the   U-I is proposing an additional 200 dollar increase for students in the Business College and nursing.
