oi c e The Board of Regents will meet April
18, but a first reading of 2019-20 tuition
rates is not currently on the meeting agenda
due to a lack of certainty regarding the
state budget.
Should uncertainty about the state
budget continue, the Board of Regents will
hold a special meeting later in April or May
for a first reading of 2019-2020 tuition
rates. If the state budget fully funds the
Board of Regents’ request for $18 million
of additional funding, then base resident
tuition rates will increase by three percent.
However, if the state budget does not fully
fund or only partially funds the request,
then base resident tuition rates will increase
to a range of 3 to 5 percent.
The Board of Regents made this request
for additional funding in September 2018
and announced the aforementioned tuition
rate increases in November.

Rapper needs repercussions
Cardi B
deserves
discipline for
past actions
BY CONNOR.BAHR
@iowastatedaily.com
Recently, a video surfaced from 3 years
ago depicting the rapper Cardi B talking
about her past. Specifically, she talks about
how she used to drug and rob men when she
was a stripper. She basically describes luring
men to hotels before drugging them and rob-
bing them. In the video she defended her-
self throughout the backlash, claiming that
she did what she needed to do to survive.
Surprisingly, many people have taken this
mindset to heart and have defended Cardi.
Even more surprisingly is that no criminal
charges have been filed.
At first, Cardi seemed to think that nothing
was going to come from the video. As time
went on, though, the mainstream media got
a hold of it. The internet also started to be
outspoken about the issue, creating a hashtag
called, “#Sur vingCardiB”, based on the
“Surviving Kelly” hashtag and documentary.
Once she realized the backlash was not
going away any time soon, she made a
lengthy instagram post in which she defends
her past actions. Interestingly, she also claims
that the men she was drugging and robbing
were “willing and aware.” This doesn’t fit into
what the video said and also doesn’t make a
lot of logical sense.
The aspect of the situation that the inter- COURTESY OF WIKIPEDIA
