Iowa Universities Tumble in Rankings Due to Reynolds Budget Crisis - Democratic Governors' Association

And today, the Des Moines Register reported that the University of Iowa and Iowa State have fallen in U.S. News and World Report’s latest rankings of public universities. The University of Iowa dropped seven spots, and Iowa State University fell three spots. University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld pointed directly to Kim Reynolds’ budget cuts as the reason the university plummeted in the rankings. “Those rankings are a stark illustration of what happens when there’s not enough investment in higher education by the state.” https://democraticgovernors.org/news/iowa-universities-tumble-in-rankings-due-to-reynolds-budget-crisis/
