Regents Back 10.5 Percent Pay Hikes for Iowa Faculty
The State Board of Regents votes to seek a 10.5 percent faculty pay increase for the three state universities, opposing the executive secretary's 5.5 percent recommendation. The plan adds about 14.7 million to the fiscal 1987 request, raising total regents funding to roughly 390 million. The board also proposes distributing 15.1 million in lottery profits across Iowa higher education in two priority levels for UI ISU and UNI programs, including biotech, microelectronics, and endowments.

Iowa regents study a potential consolidation of the Iowa Braille and Sight-Saving School in Vinton with the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs. A preliminary report could go to the board in December as enrollments decline and cost savings tempt consideration.

Vinton Rally Aims to Keep Braille School in Town
Vinton community group Vinton Unlimited leads a fight to resist a state plan to merge the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School with the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs. A nine member committee will draft a position paper for a 7:30 p.m. public meeting at Tilford Middle School and to be sent to Governor Branstad. The effort emphasizes protecting about 100 jobs and a $1.9 million payroll in the county.
