Regents slide shows understate funding concerns say Iowa leaders
Gov Robert Ray urged the Board of Regents to present a fuller, fairer view of funding for the universities. Regent secretary Wayne Richey defended time limits and emphasized explaining problems, not promoting one agency over others. The slide shows, presented to alumni and lawmakers, claim Iowa's universities face shortfalls and crowded classes requiring more state support. The regents plan a budget pitch with Ray's staff next Tuesday.
