How can UI afford new vice presidential hire?

Nov. 9, 2009 11:14 pm

Please ask the state Board of Regents why University of Iowa President Sally Mason can hire another new $200,000-plus vice president while forcing academic and medical departments to lay off staff, freeze hiring and possibly reduce retirement benefits.

Previous presidents functioned without the new VP positions at these high salaries.
