Bonuses for university leaders questioned
IOWA CITY - Several Iowa lawmakers are raising questions about
bonuses being made available to the state's regent university
presidents during a tough budget year.
Republican Rep. Jeff Kaufmann said the discussion of bonuses by

Sweeney also questioned whether tuition increases are needed. The
regents will hear 2010-2011 tuition recommendations in October.
