Regents boost U of athletics
The University of Iowa regents move to consolidate football training facilities into the Recreation Building and delay a $14.25 million Hawkeye Sports Arena bond sale due to unsettled markets. The arena project, a $24.2 million initiative, will start this spring, with indoor and outdoor facility upgrades financed by football receipts and private gifts. The board also addressed admissions suspension in Business Education, re accreditation of the MLIS program, and name changes in journalism and speech departments. Also approved Streetscape funding for Iowa City sidewalks and public amenities.
