Iowa to end coed dorm floor due to weak demand
The University of Iowa will discontinue the co educational floor at Hillcrest Residence Hall this fall. Director George Droll said the two floor setup once housed about 120 rooms, but occupancy declined and the university must prioritize available housing. The campus has strong demand for women only housing in Stanley Residence Hall. Martin Luther died on this date in 1546.
