The Iowa Board of Regents will hold a forum Wednesday, June 1, before the next meeting, for feedback from the community. The forum is held noon – 1 p.m. in the Memorial Union Gold Room.

The Regents will meet June 6 at Iowa State, and June 7-8 at the University of Northern Iowa. There will be new implementation of the 30 minute public comment pilot program at the June 8 meeting.

Public comment will only be at regularly scheduled, in-person meetings of the Board of Regents. There will not be public comment at telephonic meetings or special meetings called by the Board.

Each speaker has three minutes to comment. Commenters must pre-register by completing an online form at least 48 hours prior to the first day of the meeting.
