Iowa bills push residency limits on UI med and dental students
Republican lawmakers back HF 516 to require 80 percent Iowa residents or students from Iowa colleges for UI College of Medicine and College of Dentistry, with projected revenue losses and staff impacts. HF 437 would create a School of Intellectual Freedom with a nine member council and a dean search, costing about 1.5 million annually. HF 577 offers full tuition waivers and up to 10,000 dollars yearly stipends for residents achieving perfect ACT SAT or CLT scores, with waivers varying by campus and projected costs through 2029.

Local farmers brace as federal cuts threaten school and pantry programs
Iowa farmers like Mari Hunt Wassink fear lost sales as federal support wanes. Field to Family in Iowa City, a key distributor, boosted local produce to 44 school districts and 22 pantries, but may see sales drop by half without federal funds. The Cedar Rapids and Iowa City districts vow to maintain local purchases, while producers weigh expansion plans and loan prospects amid the cuts.
