Des Moines Register: Regents take flak on review at schools
University of Iowa faculty complain that a strategic planning initiative ‘has not been transparent so far.’
University of Iowa faculty leaders are alarmed that the Iowa Board of Regents has launched a strategic-plan review at Iowa’s public universities without including faculty, students or Iowa lawmakers.
“It does seem to me that public institutions function the best the more transparent they are,” said Sheldon Kurtz, president of the U of I Faculty Senate.
“It has not been transparent so far.”
