I'm sure it won't pass, but a bill introduced in Iowa senate that would have ISU/UI ath depts give $21.5M to UNI over 5-yr period - both teams chipping in $2.5M annually for 5 years.

ISU and UI chipping in?

Re: ISU and UI chipping in?
Actually it's $2.5M from Iowa and $1.8M from ISU for 5 years, not that it makes any difference. Has as much chance of passing as a tax increase on the wealthiest beneficiaries of our society and strict gun regulations.GO PANTHERS!

Re: ISU and UI chipping in?
Misguided effort by a naive legislator that will make UNI look bad...As though they're asking for the money.
Now...If we want to have a serious conversation about funding, let's ask the Iowa legislature why they won't accept the university funding model the Iowa Regents proposed to appropriately reflect the number of Iowa students educated at UNI. That would be real money.Winning is more fun than losing.

Seriously. Did that just evaporate? What happened to the implementation of that?

Originally posted by Panther AC View PostIt wasn't implemented because it didn't pass in the Legislature. I don't think it even made it out of committee because the UI and ISU lobbyists, as well as Iowa City area and Ames area legislators, made sure to kill it.
Thanks. Not sure how I missed that.

Iowa State would have benefitted substantially by the proposal.
The ISU president and Ruud lobbied for it together. Iowa would have ultimately been forced to send 20 million dollars a year to both UNI and ISU.Winning is more fun than losing.

This bill, as proposed, would actually have the universities sending money to UNI.

Originally posted by Khan4Cats View PostIowa would not have had to 'send' anything to UNI or ISU, the funding from the state would just have been allocated differently and Iowa would not have gotten their uneven portion. The current funding model simply has that students at Iowa are more valuable than students at UNI or ISU, so they get more per student.

Agree...Iowa would have received less from the state. UNI would have received more.Winning is more fun than losing.
