Smoking ban for Iowa casinos gains committee backing

Supporters argue health gains and costs fall, while opponents warn revenue losses could drive players to tribal or neighboring casinos.

Iowa universities limit gender options on admissions forms
After a February letter from Rep. Collins and Sen. Evans urging a two gender policy, the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa updated admissions forms to offer male, female, or prefer not to answer. Regents said they are reviewing executive orders and federal directives while the Common App still presents broader gender and sex choices.
