Regents Will Ask to Freeze Tuition for 2nd Year

Iowa college students may not see an increase in tuition in the fall of 2014.

When the Iowa State Board of Regents meet next week they plan to make a request that should make the parents of Iowa college students happy.

The board announced that they will ask the Legislature for the funding necessary to freeze tuition at Iowa's regent institutions for the second straight year in a row.

The board will examine the funding requests of the University of Northern Iowa, University of Iowa and Iowa State University next week, according to Radio Iowa.
