Board staff said the tuition proposals were prepared based on funding in the state education appropriations bill; the governor's recent veto of a funding initiative prompted the board to defer action on UNI's contiguous‑state nonresident rates and consider those rates at a subsequent meeting.

Brad Berg of the Board of Regents office presented the item and summarized the campus proposals. The board record shows the proposed resident undergraduate tuition increases are 3.0% at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University and 2.7% at the University of Northern Iowa. The board also voted to approve the allocation of campus student activities and services fees and building fees as recommended by campus student fee committees.

Regent Rouse moved to approve the tuition and mandatory fees for 2025–26 as outlined in the agenda (with the exception of UNI's contiguous‑state nonresident rates), and Regent Hensley seconded. A roll‑call vote recorded unanimous approval of the motion among voting regents present.

What the vote did — and did not — do
- Approved: the proposed resident undergraduate tuition increases for the University of Iowa (3.0%), Iowa State University (3.0%) and the University of Northern Iowa (2.7%); the allocation of student activities/services fees and building fees; the common and program‑specific fees described in the docket.
- Deferred: UNI's proposed undergraduate nonresident rates for students from states contiguous to Iowa, to be taken up at a later meeting because legislative funding that informed those rates was vetoed.

The board did not adopt any campus‑specific programmatic changes as part of the vote. Staff said the approved rates take effect with the fall 2025 semester, except for the deferred UNI rate item.

Speakers quoted in this report spoke during the tuition discussion on June 12 and are identified in the article's speaker list below.

Looking ahead
Board staff and campus leaders will return with the deferred UNI contiguous‑state nonresident proposal after campuses and the board have time to reconcile the tuition model with the governor's vetoed appropriation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Iowa Board of Regents Meeting 06-12-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Iowa Board of Regents on June 12, 2025, approved proposed tuition and mandatory student fees for the 2025–26 academic year, while deferring action on a UNI nonresident‑rate proposal after the governor vetoed related funding.","taxTitle","Regents, State Board of, Executive, Iowa","taxId",27586,"location","Iowa","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6540956,"University of Iowa's Operator Performance Lab outlines flight‑test work, Lockheed and NASA partnerships",538,2960000,3498000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794837-9aaa3d9d4e190df54b5a9ad17976cac9&start=2960&end=3498","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794837-9aaa3d9d4e190df54b5a9ad17976cac9/thumbnail_2960000.jpg","/articles/6540956/Iowa/University-of-Iowas-Operator-Performance-Lab-outlines-flighttest-work-Lockheed-and-NASA-partnerships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6540956-283bdd2063e0d2f0056d44eb3288c620/orig.mp4?Expires=1770762078&Signature=N6q7JMYpQQFCdiZnaBK5PbITaVqTq3OA3Vbn-ASqRnTTxGduZIsXS0NVJpcGU4o5BLHgAhJMWsMJcxiCLorqjfEjH69s3-vtPsa-pjnAKO4WaLn4-395o9Sx04djz9RjZPYEV1FMhEVZK-gn3WcUAzr1xPSN~vfTUGPfSPV7wHDbIBg1S0lc-dc54xG7lQIFngCofBbxg4~DNI3PGyFZZYmuQGuDB1TS27oHJGY-iCb~nr50rYbzai9xNui~kWkgmaqDia1RXhujwg-syhWP39TcCSlsrDkDPP1pEmJtQPhdEbinEvrCLvqfulO20e5cActSlNVy-WwFD8FriLwgpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Professor Thomas Chanel, director of the Operator Performance Lab (OPL) at the University of Iowa, briefed the Board of Regents on June 12, 2025, summarizing nearly 27 years of OPL work in flight testing, human factors and airborne autonomy.

Chanel described OPL as a university flight‑test organization that operates a mix of manned and unmanned test beds — including surplus jets and helicopters outfitted with modern avionics — to conduct experiments and demonstrations for government and industry customers. He said the OPL has supported 427 projects with approximately $38 million in external funding to date and that the lab has direct partnerships and repeat business with Department of Defense organizations, Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, NASA and industry contractors.

Key projects and partnerships Chanel described
- Lockheed Martin Skunk Works: OPL tested a collaborative combat aircraft AI kit and prototype display symbology using three OPL fighter jets, with a pilot in the lead aircraft controlling autonomy assets from a touchscreen. Chanel said that John Clark, vice president and general manager at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, told him the work with OPL is \"foundational for the future of air combat,\" and the partnership is continuing with additional contracts.
- NASA and commercialization: Chanel recounted a 2005 NASA contract for a synthetic vision system (SVS) that OPL developed and later commercialized through Dynon Avionics; he said more than 12,000 display units incorporating the University of Iowa work have been sold and that the technology has safety implications for degraded‑visibility operations.
- Test pilot school collaboration: OPL has been designated as a partner site for graduates of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School who qualify to earn a Ph.D. while on active duty; Chanel said OPL currently hosts several TPS graduates as part of that program.

Chanel also described operational test deployments to military ranges and bases and said OPL's comparatively small investments in aircraft and infrastructure have produced a high return in terms of research funding and state economic impact. He highlighted specific test work including airborne autonomy experiments, GPS‑denied operations, airborne sensor pods for atmospheric research, and helicopter brownout testing.

No board action was required. Regents asked questions about safety procedures and said they appreciated the presentation. Chanel offered to host regents to observe flight operations where logistically possible.

University of Iowa
President Wilson reported that 5,497 students graduated across 16 ceremonies this spring and highlighted faculty research awards and student honors. Wilson noted two faculty in ophthalmology — Ed Stone and Val Sheffield — received the Helen Keller Prize for work on macular degeneration and glaucoma, and highlighted a Goldwater scholarship winner and the university's biomedical engineering collaborations.

Wilson also described a new corporate partnership: the John Deere Scholars program, funded with a $6,600,000 commitment from John Deere to support 20 scholars per year. The program covers approximately 90% of participating scholars' college costs (tuition and associated expenses), provides mentoring and places a full‑time coordinator in Davenport high schools to support college readiness and application assistance. Wilson said when fully implemented the program will have about 60 scholars on campus and intends to support a range of majors.

University of Northern Iowa
President Mark Nook said nearly 1,600 graduates crossed the stage this spring, representing 22 countries, 28 states and students from 96 of Iowa's 99 counties. Nook highlighted a record cohort of 30 doctorates of education, the institution's educator preparation program (he said regent institutions produce 50% of Iowa teachers), and several student leadership and community engagement recognitions.

Iowa State University
President Wintersteen reported five commencement ceremonies with 4,770 graduates and several students with notable placements and internships, including hires at John Deere and graduate school placements. Wintersteen also described extension and outreach programs such as a rural cybersecurity initiative that has reached more than 2,600 farmers and 133 programs and resources, supported by USDA and regional risk‑management education centers.

No formal board action was requested. Regents thanked the presidents for the updates and for campus hosting of board members and visitors during the meetings and commencement season.

At the start of the consent item discussion, Regent Barker asked that items from the property and facilities committee concerning the raising of buildings and a tower project be removed from the consent agenda for separate votes. Regent Hensley moved to approve and receive the remaining items on the consent agenda, and Regent Jaden seconded. The roll call showed approval of the consent agenda with the specified items removed.

During the roll call, Regent Weiswick said she would abstain from the SUI Cambus maintenance facility expansion project while voting yes on the remaining consent items; that abstention was recorded in the meeting.

Later in the consent sequence, Regent Barker again called for items related to the University of Iowa Hospital to be removed from the consent agenda. The board then took a motion (moved by Regent Barker and seconded by Regent Hensley) to approve the remaining consent items after those IU Hospital items were removed. That motion carried on roll call: all regents present except Regent Barker voted yes; Barker recorded a No vote on that action.

What passed and how it was recorded
- Action: Approval to receive/approve the consent agenda with property‑facilities and tower items removed. Motion moved by Regent Hensley; seconded by Regent Jaden; motion approved by roll call.
- Noted abstention: Regent Weiswick abstained on the SUI Cambus maintenance facility expansion project but voted yes on the remaining consent items.
- Action: Approval to receive/approve consent agenda after University of Iowa Hospital items were removed. Motion moved by Regent Barker; seconded by Regent Hensley; roll call passed with Regent Barker voting No and other voting regents voting Yes.

The board did not take final action on the removed items during the meeting; they remain separately noticed for consideration as required.","The board approved the consent agenda on June 12, 2025, after Regents removed multiple items for separate consideration: Regent Barker asked to remove property‑facilities items on building‑raising and a tower project; items regarding the University of Iowa Hospital were also called out and removed.
