We request that the Faculty Senate of the University of Northern Iowa take up the following
measure for discussion and vote at the next available senate meeting:
WHEREAS, the University of Iowa Faculty Senate found that the Iowa Board of Regents failed
in its duty of care to the University of Iowa and the citizens of Iowa and showed blatant disregard
for the shared nature of university governance, and
WHEREAS the University of Iowa Faculty Senate found the Regents to have failed to act
according to their own strategic plan's core values, namely ethical behavior, honesty, open and
effective communication, public accountability, stewardship and service, and transparency, and
WHEREAS oversight of UNI and the University of Iowa are by the same Board of Regents and
our different institutions stand together rather than be divided,
BE IT RESOLVED that the University of Northern Iowa Faculty Senate fully supports the
University of Iowa Faculty Senate regarding the Iowa Board of Regents.
