Eric Wirth

An open forum on the Board of Regents April agenda, where citizens can voice their opinions and concerns, is scheduled for Thursday. The forum will take place from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Oak Room of the Memorial Union.

Some agenda items that could affect Iowa State include a review of the 2014 Fiscal Year reports for Iowa State, a report of recommendations to the university in regard to the financial aid system after a review conducted from April 22 to May 17, 2013, and a decision on the sale of $30 million in dormitory revenue bonds in order to construct the new dormitory next to Buchanan.

Also on the agenda is the request for a decision to be made regarding a name change from the Jack Trice Stadium end zone club to the Sukup End Zone Club. The purpose of the name change is to honor the Sukup family from Sheffield, Iowa. 

The full Board of Regents meeting will take place April 22 and 23 at the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
