Inside Iowa State: Iowa State University

May 23, 2003

Preserving a strong reputation

"We have made it a priority to try to halt, or at least slow, the rapid pace of decreasing public support for our state universities. Your teaching, your research, your outreach and your professional service all contribute to the reputation of Iowa State University as a leading land-grant university, but they also contribute to the state of Iowa's reputation as a state that holds education and public service as a very top priority."

-- Owen Newlin, president of the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, speaking May 6 to the Faculty Senate
