FY19 salaries set for 1 percent increase across the board
Iowa State employees with satisfactory performance reviews will receive at least a 1 percent raise in fiscal year 2019.

Tuition decision expected next week
When the state Board of Regents meets in Cedar Falls, it also will vote on an admissions index proposal, plans for a Gerdin addition and Memorial Union upstairs renovation, and several new degree programs.

Getting to AccessPlus just became easier
Instead of requiring an employee ID number and password, AccessPlus is one click away for Okta users who have enabled multifactor authentication.
