The president of the Iowa Board of Regents is suggesting there should be a ceiling for tuition rates at Iowa, Iowa State and U-N-I in the future. Bruce Rastetter says his idea is “not a board initiative.”

 

Rastetter’s term on the board expires on April 30th. He says he is “thinking about” whether he’d like the governor to nominate him for another term.

 

During Rastetter’s six-year term, the Board of Regents has hired new presidents for each of the universities. Enrollment has grown and Rastetter says state funding for the universities has increased by 80 million dollars.
