There is a proposal by theUniversity of Iowa to seperate the increases in tuition from student fees.Craft says if the University of Iowa proposal goes through, then I-S-U andU-N-I would follow suit. He says they’re worried student services funded byfees — such as the bus service — would not get the funding they need.Craft says he’s also concerned the tuition increase will hurt I-S-U studentswhose parents are being hit by the agricultural crisis.
