Those wishing to comment on the Iowa Board of Regents’ February agenda will have their chance Friday.

In the Gold Room of the Memorial Union from noon to 1 p.m. those who want to express their feelings and concerns about agenda items will have the opportunity. One of the larger agenda items is the sale of revenue bonds for the University of Northern Iowa.

“Resolution for Sale and Award of $24,010,000 (Estimated) Dormitory Revenue Bonds, Series U.N.I. 2016,” the agenda item reads. 

While $24 million is a large sum, September 2015 saw the sale of $30 million in bonds for the new Buchanan II residence hall at Iowa State, the second of two issuances each worth $30 million.

The Regents meeting will take place Feb. 24 and 25 at Iowa State in the Alumni Center and the Great Hall of the Memorial Union, respectively.
