UI to close Confucius Institute centers amid budget cuts
University of Iowa will shutter seven Confucius Institute centers including those at West High School City High and Liberty High in Iowa City by July 2019 to save about 3.5 million dollars. The move ends Mandarin offerings in local high schools and reduces Chinese language courses tied to a dual enrollment program. Classes had ranged from three to ten students with four levels last year.
