How does the Regents plan benefit students and parents? other Iowans?
The Regents partnership for transformation and excellence will benefit every Iowan in every part of the state: Iowa students and their families will gain greater predictability in tuition costs, particularly at the undergraduate level. Accessible higher education is a priority of the Board of Regents; unfortunately, state funding cuts to the three universities have made that a challenge (see the next question below). More than 50,000 Iowans are among the 70,000 students who attend the three Regent universities every year. All Iowans benefit from having high-quality state universities. They provide educational opportunities on their campuses and in communities statewide via the Internet and Iowa Communications Network. The universities provide a wide variety of services to families, small and large business owners, farmers, entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations, and communities.
