Some AIB students concerned about merging with University of Iowa

DES MOINES - The merger between University of Iowa and AIB College of Business isn't sitting well with some AIB students.

Some students say they are worried about how the change will impact the value of their diploma.

About 300 of the school's 1,000 students are members of the athletic program.

Other than the decision to honor all current scholarships, students still have questions about the future of AIB athletics.

'It's really disappointing, you know, when you walk through the halls or to class in the morning, or you look at people, it feels like there is a weight on your shoulders now of just unsure,” said Drew Rossman, AIB junior.

The two schools have formed an integration team to address how to handle the merger.

The goal is to complete the transition by June 2016.
