Board of Regents Tuition Task Force July 27 Meeting Cancelled

July 24, 2017

The Board of Regents Tuition Task Force stakeholder meeting scheduled for Thursday, July 27 has been cancelled.

“Unfortunately, we were not going to have a high enough turnout of presenters to hold the July 27 meeting,” said Tuition Task Force chair Larry McKibben. “We need to be mindful of everyone’s time and the use of state resources. As we are having three other Task Force meetings, there are several opportunities to hear feedback from a wide variety of constituents, including hopefully those invited to the July 27 meeting.”

The July 27 meeting was to hear from legislative, economic development and business stakeholders. All groups invited to the July 27 meeting are encouraged to submit written comments to the Tuition Task Force or attend one of the three Tuition Task Force meetings held in August on the three public university campuses.

Tuition Task Force meetings are scheduled as follows:

Monday, August 7 – University of Northern Iowa Campus – Slife Ballroom, Commons
10:30-11:30 a.m. – University of Northern Iowa 5-year tuition presentation
Noon-1:00 p.m. – Listening session

Wednesday, August 9 – Iowa State University Campus – Room 240, Scheman Building
10:30-11:30 a.m. – Iowa State University 5-year tuition presentation
Noon-1:00 p.m. – Listening session

Monday, August 14 – University of Iowa Campus -- Kollros Auditorium, Biology Building East
10:30-11:30 a.m. – University of Iowa 5-year tuition presentation
Noon-1:00 p.m. – Listening session

The Tuition Task Force is comprised of Regents McKibben (chair), Milt Dakovich (vice chair), Sherry Bates and Nancy Boettger. The Tuition Task Force will provide a summary of the meetings held this summer to the full Board of Regents at its September meeting.

All meetings are open to the public. During the listening sessions, the Tuition Task Force will receive public comments. Each meeting will be live streamed, with a link posted on the front page of the Board of Regents website. Additionally, comments can be e-mailed to the Tuition Task Force by clicking here.
