Write-up on legislative session
The Des Moines Register has an interesting look on the winners and losers of this legislative session. I might add that UNI is considered a winner as are college students based on a number of laws that were passed aimed at alleviating student debt. One of the provisions, a bill encouraging universities and colleges to list college textbook information, actually got its start by the former Student Body President at UNI talking to the Cedar Falls delegation about the issue. Another example of grassroots work at its finest!
