Salary funding top university priority
by Anne Krapfl
Highlights of the Sept. 7
Professional and Scientific Council meeting include:
- Assistant provost Ellen Rasmussen said full state funding of salary increases will be Iowa State's top priority for the 2001 legislative session.
- Council president Kerry Dixon said the annual P&S professional development day is scheduled for April 17, 2001. Planners are just beginning their work on the event.
- Gary Steinke, director of govern-mental relations, was the guest at the noon open forum. Steinke said he anticipates the 2001 Iowa Legislature will better (perhaps not fully) fund state employee salary increases for FY02; and provide new funds for the Plant Sciences Institute and proposed College of Business building. He said the state Legislature "is a very conservative place right now." It's not "anti- education, but very accountable and looking for better efficiency," he said.
