The University of Iowa is closing its 6-year-old Office of Outreach and Engagement, affecting eight staffers and canceling grant programs that will move to the university’s other colleges and departments. The office — which former UI Provost Barry Butler established in 2013 to boost community engagement across Iowa — will close at the end of the calendar year, according to an email the office staff sent to colleagues Thursday.
