FYI ceases print publication

At the end of its 42nd year of serving campus readers at The University of Iowa, fyi will cease publication with the current issue (vol. 42, no. 12, July 1, 2005).

fyi, the University’s faculty and staff newspaper, has been sent through campus mail to more than 12,000 faculty and staff members since 1964, at times as often as twice a month. Funds to produce fyi were reallocated as part of the GEF Task Force recommendations for FY06.

Nevertheless, we remain committed to providing University faculty and staff members a reliable source of news, information, and community pride and identity. In times of transition and economic uncertainty, the University community continues to need information. Just what new incarnation fyi will take is in the planning stages. For now, we are taking a brief hiatus from publishing fyi in any form as we consider the best options for producing it online.

As always, we appreciate hearing from readers. Let us know what you’d like to see in an online fyi. You may e-mail us at fyi@uiowa.edu.

Finally, we thank you for your many years of interest and support. We hope to hear from you soon.
