BY JAKE.WEBSTER @iowastatedaily.com

cyclone 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. oice 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 GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY JAYDEN POND & ALISON DONAGHY rate increases in November.

COLUMN 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, “#SurvingCardiB”, 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 net has tended to focus on is that fact that Columnist Connor Bahr argues that Cardi B should be disciplined for drugging and robbing men during her past career as a stripper. it doesn’t seem as though Cardi will face charges.
