DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The board that oversees Iowa's three public universities has responded to an inquiry from some state lawmakers about the search for a new president at the University of Northern Iowa.
Katie Mulholland, president pro tem of the Iowa Board of Regents, sent a letter Tuesday addressing Sens. Rob Hogg, Jeff Danielson and Brian Schoenjahn. The letter details the timeline for hiring a president to formally replace Bill Ruud at the Cedar Falls school.
The Democratic senators sent a letter Monday to board president Bruce Rastetter seeking "specific steps" to ensure the UNI search would be different than the search last year for a new president at the University of Iowa. Iowa faculty openly criticized that process.
Mulholland doesn't reference Iowa in her letter but says the search will be transparent.
