Contact: Josh Lehman, 515-242-5095

The Board appreciates Governor Branstad’s continued support for Iowa’s public universities. He has shown that keeping higher education accessible and affordable is a priority.

We will continue to be good stewards with the money that is appropriated to us. We will also continue to strive to find ways to be more efficient and effective with our funds.

The Board is committed to working with the Governor and General Assembly in the 2016 legislative session to secure the level of funding that will ensure the highest quality education for our students.
