UI’s Tippie College of Business extends dean search
|
Executive Vice President and Provost Montse Fuentes said that in addition to in-person visits in the fall, she would continue working to attract a diverse pool of candidates, suggesting the UI might not be satisfied with its list of (all male) finalists. A fourth finalist pulled out of the search before being identified. UI Assistant Vice President for External Relations Jeneane Beck told the Daily Iowan the search committee would determine who will be invited to campus in the fall, adding
“that may include the candidates who participated in virtual campus visits this spring.”

Stay-in-place could have curbed some Iowa COVID-19 cases

Iowa
might have had fewer cases of COVID-19 had Gov. Kim Reynolds issued a shelter-in-place order, according to a new study tracking the growth in cases both within the Hawkeye State and in neighboring Illinois, according to U.S. News and World Report. The University of Iowa-led study found that after Illinois implemented a stay-at-home order on March 21, case rates were slower to rise in the seven counties bordering Iowa, giving the eight Iowa counties bordering Illinois as many as 217 “excess cases” in comparison.

Your KCRG-TV9 First Alert Forecast
An area of low pressure is stuck swirling near us today, keeping a mostly cloudy sky around. We may also have isolated showers, although they should be fairly light and brief if any pass through your neighborhood. Highs stay cool, struggling to hit about 60. A north wind may occasionally gust over 20 mph. The mostly cloudy sky stays tomorrow although we should see highs get further into the 60s. As that slow-moving low finally gets farther east, the sky clears up some and lets highs warm. We'll be in the 70s later on this week.
