Regents presidential search described as power struggle
The presidential search at Drake University and the Iowa regents has been marked by secrecy and conflict. Regents deny breaking laws while officials debate publicity and confidentiality. The process, including candidate secrecy and a contested final selection, sparked criticism from faculty, staff, and observers. Interim president Gary Fethke leads Iowa amid unresolved replacement plans after David Skorton’s resignation.
