Regent says budget cuts won’t cause high tuition increases

July 14, 2000 By admin

A member of the board which governs Iowa, Iowa State and U-N-I says students won’t notice the budget cuts enacted by the legislature. Board of Regents member David Fisher says a returning sophomore probably won’t see much change on campus.But Fisher says if the universities get shorted by legislators and the Governor in coming years, things will deteriorate in Ames, Cedar Falls and Iowa City.Some of the universities are not filling open jobs to make-up for the fact that negotiated pay increases were four percent, but their state budget allotment rose just two percent this year. The Presidents of the state-supported Universities predicted double-digit tuition increases next year to make up for the budget shortfall. Fisher says it won’t be that high.Fisher predicts the Regents will approve a tuition increase for the 2001 academic year of between four-and-a-half and five-and-a-half percent, for in-state students.Fisher says today’s students are shouldering a higher proportion of the cost of their education at Iowa, Iowa State and U-N-I.Fisher made his comments during taping of the Iowa Public Television program, “Iowa Press.”
