Tell the College of Education: STOP Raising our Tuition

The Dean of the University of Iowa College of Education recently announced that graduate student tuition would be raised by an additional $450 in the 2012-2013 after raising tuition for the past two years, making the College of Education’s tuition the highest on campus, excluding professional schools (e.g. dentistry, medicine, law, master of accountancy, etc.).

Therefore, we the undersigned graduate students in the College of Education vehemently disagree with the tuition increase and urge the Board of Regents to lower our tuition rates to be equal to those of the University of Iowa College of Liberal Arts and Sciences tuition rates.

Why is this important?

The College of Education at the University of Iowa has raised its tuition rates again for the third year in a row. We are presenting this petition to the Board of Regents to say that enough is enough! The Regents meet on Thursday, October 27th, 2011 to make this decision, so we must get as many signatures as possible in a very short time. Please help us spread the word to any College of Education graduate students you know!
