Statement from Board of Regents Executive Director Mark Braun on Governor's FY20 Budget Recommendation

The Board of Regents sincerely appreciates Governor Reynolds’ support for the Regent enterprise with her FY2020 budget recommendation. The Governor’s budget supports many of the Board’s top initiatives.

In particular, we are extremely pleased that the Governor has recommended fully funding our universities’ general operating request of $18 million. With this level of funding, our universities can continue to provide the accessible, top-quality education that Iowa students deserve.

The Board and institutional leaders look forward to working with the Governor and members of the General Assembly during the legislative session to advocate for these recommendations.
