Regents will meet Monday to consider UNI early retirement incentive
The state Board of Regents will hold a special meeting via telephone Monday to consider an early retirement incentive program for 2012 for the University of Northern Iowa.
The regents will meet at 10 a.m. Details of the UNI proposal will be released later today, officials said.
Live audio streaming of the regents meeting is available at the board web site, www.regents.iowa.gov.
UNI, the University of Iowa and Iowa State University all in recent years offered early retirement incentives as a way to cut the budget.
UNI in the current academic year faced a $5 million deficit, and President Ben Allen has proposed numerous budget reductions. The regents this week
approved Allen's plan to close the Malcolm Price Lab School on the UNI campus, and academic program cuts are expected to be announced next week.
