1 1 Section 1. TUITION AFFORDABILITY PROJECT. The state board
1 2 of regents shall coordinate, in cooperation with the bureau of
1 3 community colleges of the department of education, the college
1 4 student aid commission, the Iowa association of independent
1 5 colleges and universities, the Iowa association of community
1 6 college trustees, and the Iowa association of community
1 7 college presidents, an effort to develop an instrument with
1 8 which the regents universities, community colleges, and
1 9 accredited private institutions can analyze institutional
1 10 costs, student debt load and personal income, and the lifetime
1 11 earning potential of graduates over a period of at least a
1 12 decade. The purpose of the instrument shall be to gather data
1 13 that the postsecondary institutions can use in developing a
1 14 consistent and reliable tuition formula that sets a target
1 15 percentage of the student share of costs and becomes the basis
1 16 for the establishment of a plan that public postsecondary
1 17 institutions shall use, and private postsecondary institutions
1 18 may use, for gradual, deliberate tuition growth that furthers
1 19 institutional preeminence while providing state residents with
1 20 affordable postsecondary educational opportunities. The state
1 21 board of regents shall submit its findings, recommendations,
1 22 and proposals for implementation of the tuition formula in a
1 23 report to the chairpersons and ranking members of the senate
1 24 and house standing committees on education and the joint
1 25 appropriations subcommittee on education on or before December
1 26 15, 2002.
