Letter to the editor: ICCSD shouldn’t make big decisions based on unreliable enrollment projections

Imagine if a weatherman said there was a 50 percent chance of rain a month from today. You might believe him. Now imagine his prediction went up to 80 percent. Would you still buy it, or would it seem a tad extreme? Now imagine he told you that he was 99.7 percent certain it would rain one month from today. Might his extreme confidence for a prediction so far in the future make you a little skeptical?

University of Iowa drops plans for new cancer center

IOWA CITY — Two years after the Board of Regents gave the go-ahead to build a new state-of-the-art cancer research facility , the University of Iowa has changed course and instead is pursuing a smaller-scale project to build out shelled space for cancer research in its new College of Pharmacy Building. “Because of projected budget constraints, the standalone building is not advancing at this time,” UI officials said in new board documents seeking approval for the pared-down proposal. “The university is instead evaluating opportunities to provide cancer-focused and other research space within existing facilities across the health sciences campus.” Specifically, the university wants to spend $13 million building out unfinished space on the sixth floor of the new College of Pharmacy Building — which opened in 2020 — for “cancer-focused research programs” in the form of “flexible laboratories, shared support spaces, research equipment, and collaboration areas.” New Board of Regents documents report nearly 70% of that $13 million price tag — or about $9 million — will come from interest earned on an endowment created through the university’s 2020 public-private partnership for the operation of its utility system. That is triple the amount of P3 funding UI officials said the

University of Iowa opens $12M dance building in former art museum

Knox College honored alumni for service, leadership, scientific achievement and journalism during its Homecoming Convocation as reunion classes returned to campus. The ceremony began with a parade of reunion classes into Kresge Hall inside the Ford Center for the Fine Arts, according to a community announcement. Alumni marched from the Homecoming Hub tent south of the Gizmo Cafe, led by the 50-year Reunion Class of 1976. The Class of 1976 received special recognition after raising over $2 million for Knox College. “I have to give a shout-out to the Class of 1976, 50 years, what a milestone,” Alumni Council Chair Kathryn Mahaffey ’78 said. “We welcome home a reunion class whose Knox journey began more than 50 years ago, and all together we form a network that extends far beyond these walls, a community of thinkers, doers, leaders, and lifelong learners.” Mahaffey also encouraged alumni to remain involved with the college through mentoring, sharing professional experience, supporting scholarships, attending campus events and reconnecting with classmates.
