UNI gets FY16 funding Board of Regents approve $12.9 million AMBER ROUSE

Execitove Editor

Kicking off the start of a new school year, the Iowa Board of Regents approved funding for fiscal year 2016. The board approved $649 million for the FY16 budget. The board also approved $12.9 million to be distributed between Iowa State University and University of Northern Iowa. The $12.9 million is part of an appropriation request proposed by Patrice Sayre, Chief Business Officer of the Board of Regents. Sayer

proposed the $12.9 million be divided in near-equal parts as ISU would receive $6,366,297 and UNI would receive $6,605,01. “It would be in the board’s best interest to lobby aggressively for the full appropriation,” said Bruce Rastetter, BOR President. The $6.6 million dollars UNI will receive will be used in part to off-set funds cut during the recession. UNI’s $6.6 million will be distributed among financial aid, enrollment management, deferred maintenance and TIER recommendations.

The board discussed going to a performance-based funding system, which would increase funding for UNI from approximately $90.7 million to approximately $114.4 million. The performance-based system will be determined by enrollment, student progress, number of graduates and other factors. According to a graph provided in the agenda packet, appropriations used to contribute to a much higher percentage of the Regents Universities’ budget.

With the downpour of rain on Tuesday evening, the student organization To Write Love On Her Arms held their third annual candlelight vigil in the Elm Room of Maucker

Union. The vigil is meant to raise awareness during Suicide Prevention Week to those individuals who have taken their own life in the past. “Suicide is such a tragedy,” said Samantha Mallow, senior electronic media major and

co-president of TWLOHA, “and it is something that can be completely prevented. We want to remember those that we have lost, in hopes to prevent it from happening to others in the future.” The event began with statistics such as -- suicide is the

second leading cause of death in ages 13-24 year olds and the tenth leading cause of death in the nation, every 13.3 minutes someone takes their own life and on average 40,000 people commit suicide a year. There were tears welling in people’s eyes remembering

those individuals who could not see the reasons to continue their lives. Those individuals that have left this world could not see the pain that tore in the survivors’ hearts by the result of their actions. See CANDLELIGHT, page 4
