Update—Feb. 23:
Faculty, staff share ideas for coping with winter's cold daysGiven the early February warmup we've experienced in eastern Iowa, it might seem odd timing for us to deliver advice on ways to cope with winter weather. Fifty-degree days can quickly erase the shuddering memory of those well-below-zero readings in mid-January. But let's not kid ourselves: winter has some life left in her. In other words, don't deny the groundhog's prediction of more winter; rather, heed the following advice from fellow University of Iowa faculty and staff members who answered our call for coping techniques during the coldest of seasons.

UI treasurer discusses developing budget picture; University launches budget updates web page
Budget issues have become a constant topic of interest across the University of Iowa community. With that in mind, UI officials have created a web site to provide faculty, staff, and students with updates about ongoing budget deliberations and announcements, and to solicit ideas for trimming expenses as the University works to reduce costs during uncertain economic times. “The University has to engage its members as UI administrators consider how to manage what inevitably will be lower state appropriations,” says Doug True, senior vice president and University treasurer. “President [Sally] Mason, Provost [Wallace] Loh, the vice presidents, and the deans are working through a process that will involve UI constituency organizations—faculty, staff, students, elected leaders—to consider the best ways to proceed.”
