(Radio Iowa) – The Board of Regents held a short meeting this (Monday) morning, where they heard a proposal for tuition rates. Regents chief business officer, Brad Berg, presented the tuition plan. “All proposed tuition and mandatory fee rates remain flat with the current academic year,” Berg says. It took just a few more minutes for Board president Mike Richards to ask for input and then close the meeting.

“I hear no questions,” Richards says, “is there any other business?” A regent asked “is that it” and Richards said yes, that’s it, and several of the board members laughed as the meeting quickly closed. One of the regents commented that it must have been a record fast meeting. The board will vote on the proposal to freeze tuition rates at their meeting in June.

The base tuition and fees for in-state students at the Univerisity of Iowa are 96-hundred dollars, 93-hundred at Iowa State University, and 89-hundred at the University of Northern Iowa.
