Culver to name four UI regents before March 15
Iowa Governor elect Culver says he will assemble four new University of Iowa regents from across the state before March 15. He will decide who stays on the board and who resigns after Vilsack leaves, while Republicans remain in the minority in both houses. Regents terms expire in 2007 and one member resigned amid controversy. The new governor will appoint replacements to lead during an important period for the UI.
