Regents committee weighs enrollment growth, IT cuts to save $35M

A committee is studying how to save money at Iowa's three public universities by potentially recruiting community college students and making cuts to IT. The Iowa Board of Regents created the Revenue Enhancement and Productivity Study, or REAPS initiative , in December 2025 as a "comprehensive review of revenue streams and cost efficiencies across the Regents enterprise." The board targeted savings of $35 million over three years, which is roughly 5% of all Regent appropriations from the state general fund. The REAPS committee, which includes Regent board members and staff and as well as staff from Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa, plans to deliver a report to the Regents in February. Chief Efficiency Officer and committee member Jacob Nicholson said he is "very confident that in February, REAPS will deliver vetted, validated, and actionable recommendations for the board. " More: Library asks Ames to enforce an overnight camping ban on its property He provided an update at the Regents' Nov. 11 meeting in Ames, noting that the REAPS committee is still reviewing options.

Steel plant executive offers SE Iowa promises — and hope

FORT MADISON — In a carpeted Quality Inn & Suites conference room, an executive in a navy-blue vest made promises to residents in the southeast corner of Iowa. First, Mesabi Metallics CEO Joe Broking promised the farmers, mechanics, local officials and others gathered there that his company would be transparent. Then, he promised them the world. Broking displayed a rendering of the company's plan: a sprawling industrial campus where employees will melt iron and turn it into rolled steel. He provided a long list of industries that could buy from the plant, from automakers to appliance manufacturers and construction materials suppliers. It will be “the cleanest, most environmentally friendly steel in the world at the lowest cost,” Broking said. “And we can do that right here in the U.S., right here in Iowa.” The promises kept coming. “Your schools are going to improve. Your housing market’s going to improve. Access to community amenities is going to improve,” Broking said. People in the crowd of about 100 whispered among themselves as he went on. “This is absolutely a fantastic opportunity for Mesabi Metallics and a fantastic opportunity for each and every one of you.
