Regents Lang and Rastetter Want to Move Forward on UNI Challenges - Diane Heldt, KCRG

Major budget cuts last year at the University of Northern Iowa could have been handled in a better way, leaders of the state Board of Regents said Saturday, but regents now are focused on moving forward, dealing with challenges UNI still faces and building relationships with faculty there. "As I look back on it, could we have diminished the outrage of the public, the concerns of the faculty if we had postponed it for another year? Yes, but we would not have gotten the $4 million from the Iowa Legislature" in special funding for UNI, Regents President Craig Lang said. "I'll be the first one to tell you ... we could have done it in a better way, we should have probably done it in a better way, but this is what we did." http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Regents-Lang-and-Rastetter-Want-to-Move-Forward-on-UNI-Challenges--202869031.html
