Board Explains Storms Resignation and Education Funding
The state board of education released a Des Moines statement on Cedar Rapids resignation of President A B Storms. It says resignations of Storms and McLean arose from inability to handle the institutions, not personal fault, and calls for a $100000 short course appropriation and anti lobby by faculty. It also notes a $42000 request for short course work, a 25 percent increase, and readiness to provide detailed needs to the legislature.
