Omaha professor declines offer to lead Center for Intellectual Freedom

IOWA CITY — The Board of Regents’ top choice to direct its Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa turned down the job Tuesday and instead took a position at the University of Florida — sending the University of Iowa-based center into a second year without a permanent director and extending its time without any director at all. University of Nebraska-Omaha political science professor Carson Holloway had been negotiating terms of employment with the Board of Regents since it made him a public offer Oct. 20 — following closed-door interviews with three finalists.
